A Kogi State High Court has sacked the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, His Majesty Ahmed Muhammed Tajani Anaje, from his position as the traditional ruler. The ruling, delivered on Monday by Justice Salisu Umar, mandates that the defendant cease presenting himself as the paramount traditional leader of the Ebiraland kingdom.
While the full details of the judgment have not been disclosed, it is understood that the case, numbered HCO/05C/2024, was filed by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two other plaintiffs against the Kogi State governor.
The development has sparked considerable attention, as the Ohinoyi is an important figure in the Ebiraland community. Further updates regarding the case are expected as the court’s judgment becomes fully available.
