Offa: Ruling house to sue deposed Kwara monarch

Date: 2013-12-12

The Olugbense Ruling House in Offa, Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State has threatened to sue for alleged contempt the deposed Olofa of Offa, Mohammed Mufutau Gbadamosi.

A court had, in July, declared Gbadamosi,s selection and installation illegal.

Olugbense and Anilelerin are the two ruling houses in the town.

Following the judgment, the Anilelerin ruling house filed a stay of execution and restraining order on the judgment.

The deposed monarch is also challenging the court,s decision at the Supreme Court.

A letter to Gbadamosi's counsel Rafiu Lawal-Rabana (SAN) and signed by a counsel in the legal team of the Olugbense ruling house, Toyin Oladipo, claimed that the deposed monarch still parades himself as the Olofa of Offa.

The letter reads: "I write to you as a member of the legal team of the appellants, for myself and on behalf of the team to bring to your attention the complaint of our clients, about the (mis) conduct of your client (fifth respondent), who has continued to violate the judgment of the Court of Appeal by parading himself as the Olofa of Offa.

"Our clients complained to us that in the last Ileya festival, Gbadamosi paraded himself as the Olofa when he went to yidi ground. As if that was not enough, he has continued to be mentioned on radio as the Olofa of Offa to his knowledge.

"On December 5, he rode into Offa in a convoy with the insignia and plate of Olofa of Offa displayed on his vehicles with siren-blowing pilot cars to the chagrin of our clients and to the utter surprise and display of people in Offa and its environs.

"To crown it all, he still lives in and operates from the palace of Olofa, which is the official quarters of the holder of the stool of Olofa.

"We are bringing it to your attention in order that you may use your position as a senior member of the bar to impress it on your client to respect the court judgment and stop acting as if he is above the law.

"We hope that after this letter, no further act of disregard and disrespect of the judgment will be done by your client but if he unfortunately continues, we shall start contempt proceedings against him.

"We are constrained to observe that your client is not lying low, he is not soberly pursuing his appeal. Instead, he is grandstanding and posing as if he is above the law; and as if he has the power to annul the judgment of the Court of Appeal."
