Governor Threatens To Dethrone Monarch Over Warring Communities 

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has threatened to dethrone traditional rulers of Ifon, Erin Osun, and Ilobu communities if they fail to sustain the current peace in the warring communities.

In a statement issued by Olawale Rasheed, spokesperson to Gov. Adeleke, the warning was based on the backdrop of online reports that some faceless groups across the conflict areas are planning another round of attacks.

Parts of the statement read:

"In the midst of Sallah celebrations, I got reports of some people planning another round of conflict around Ifon, Ilobu, and Erin Osun towns. The security agencies have tightened surveillance to ensure no attacks take place.

"The security agencies are also speeding up the interrogation of key chieftains and actors in the conflict. I will remind top leaders of the towns that the peace undertaking they are signing is not a joke. They will be held accountable. There will be accountability before the law.

"The curfew we relaxed was on humanitarian grounds. As a compassionate government, we know many innocent people are suffering because of the evil agenda of a few elements across the conflict areas. Any attempt to exploit the adjustment of the curfew for renewed violence will be met with full re-imposition of the 24-hour curfew.

"Additionally, I will remove from office any traditional ruler where violence recurs. This card is on the table. Royal fathers of each town must call their subjects to order. I will wield the big stick. Enough is enough," the Governor was quoted as saying in the statement.

  ...Court Dismisses ‘rights Violation’ Suit Filed by ‘kidney donor’ Against Ekweremadu: A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed David Ukpo’s bid to overturn orders granting Ike Ekweremadu, the former deputy senate president, access to his biodata for use in a UK court. In a ruling delivered on Wednesday, Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, held that the applicant, Edo Civil Society Organisations (EDOSCO), lacked the legal right to institute the suit on Ukpo’s behalf. Ekwo held that the provision of article 3 (e) of the preamble to the fundamental rights (enforcement procedure) rules, 2009 (FREPR 2009), under which EDOSCO filed the suit, cannot be said to have granted any person without legal personality to sue or be sued in the court. The judge held that by the averments made by Bamidele Igbinedion, counsel to EDOSCO, “it is clear that the applicant in this case is Edo Civil Society Organisations (EDOSCO)”. “The counsel for the applicant knows this but cleverly avoided stating s...
