An Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital has sacked the Alawo of Awo-Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state, Oba Abdulazeez Olaleye, for irregular appointment as the tradition of the town.
The administration of the former governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, had in 2017 appointed Olaleye as the traditional ruler of the community.
Justice Abiodun Adesodun while giving his ruling on Monday in suit number HAD/134/2020 said the state government erred in presenting the certificate of installation to the embattled monarch in 2017 when the suit is pending in court
