Kingmakers install Olaoye as new Soun of Ogbomoso

A Pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Prince Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, has been installed as the new Soun of Ogbomoso.

Prince Olaoye, arrived in Ogbomoso early in the morning on a private chopper, which landed at Ogbomoso Grammar School, before moving to the palace, where he was installed in the early hours of Friday.

The installation of Olaoye is coming a few hours after an Oyo State High Court ordered the state governor and others not to present the instrument of office to him.

It was learnt that the court, under the leadership of Justice K.A Adedokun on Thursday, also gave an order restraining Olaoye from parading, representing, or presenting himself as the candidate for any ceremony for the issuance of a certificate of installation or wearing any regalia resembling that of the occupant of the stool of Soun of Ogbomoso Chieftaincy pending the hearing and final determination of the mandatory injunction already filed before the court.

Nevertheless, the installation of Olaoye was performed at Abata in Ogbomosjo by the kingmakers, led by High Chief Sobalaje Otolorin, the Areago of Ogbomoso.

While performing the installation, the kingmakers maintained that they are yet to receive any court injunction restraining them from installing Olaoye as the Soun of Ogbomoso.
