An Ikeja High Court, presided over by Justice Olabisi Ogungbesan has on Friday put on hold the ongoing coronation ceremony of the Ayangburen of Ikorodu Kingdom, Oba Kabiru Shotebi in Lagos State.
The Ayangburen stool became vacant on August 1, 2014 after the demise of Oba S.A.A. Oyefusi, following which the former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, announced Shotebi as the new Ayangburen.
Already the ceremony to crown the new Ayangburen, had been slated for today,however Justice Ogungbesan held that the programme should be suspended “in the interest of justice.”
The Judge ruled that she was satisfied from the evidence placed before the court that unquantifiable damages would be occasioned if the coronation ceremony was allowed to go on as scheduled
