Oba Sakirudeen Oyeleye
A State High Court, sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State capital has nullified the selection process that gave birth to the appointment of Oba Sakirudeen Oyeleye as the Onifiditi of Fiditi.

The court which was presided over by Justice K. B. Olawoyin granted a mandatory injunction setting aside the presentation of Staff of Office to the dethroned Oba Sakirudeen Oyeleye.

The Round Table understands that Oba Sakirudeen Oyeleye was enthroned as Onifiditi of Fiditi, a prominent town in Afijio Local Government Area of Oyo State, in 2021 and he was subsequently presented with the Staff of Office on October 18, 2021, with funfair by Governor Seyi Makinde and other executive cabinet members of the state.

However, Justice Olawoyin also ruled that all defendants should restrained from taking further actions towards filling the vacant stool of the Onifiditi of Fiditi pending the determination of the suit by the court.

Oba Sakirudeen Oyeleye had been dragged to the court by two plaintiffs, Samuel Ogunkunle and Bayo Oyewale who were represented in the Court by R. A. Olawuwo and B.M. Olimene.

Justice Olawoyin also awarded a cost of N200,000 in favor of the plaintiffs before the case was adjourned the suit until May 22.

It took Fiditi 13 years before Oba Shakirudeen Oyeleye was enthroned in 2021 after his predecessor joined their ancestors.
