Prince Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye has been installed as the new Soun of Ogbomoso in defiance of an Ogbomosho High Court order.
Theliberationnews can authoritatively report that he was installed in the early hours of Friday.
Newsmen reports that the installation of Ghandi is coming a few hours after an Oyo State High Court ordered the state governor and others not to present the instrument of office to him.
The presiding Justice K.A Adedokun also on Thursday gave an order restraining Ghandi from parading, representing or presenting himself as the candidate for any ceremony for the issuance of a certificate of installation or wearing any regalia resembling that of the occupant of the stool of Soun of Ogbomoso Chieftaincy pending the hearing and final determination of the mandatory injunction already filed before the court.
Nonetheless, Ghandi’s installation was performed at Abata in Ogbomosjo by the kingmakers and led by, the Areago of Ogbomoso, High Chief Sobalaje Otolorin.
The kingmakers, while performing the installation, maintained that they are yet to receive any court injunction restraining them from installing Ghandi as Soun of Ogbomosho.
