By Dapo AkinrefonThe Olojo Kosoko Ruling House of Lagos has faulted what it described as an unlawful siege on the Oloja of Lagos Palace, despite a subsisting court order directing parties to maintain the status quo.
The ruling house, in a statement by its Head, Prince Surajudeen Abiodun Olojo-Kosoko, and its Secretary, Prince Theophilus Olojo-Kosoko, alleged that the actions were being orchestrated by some individuals in defiance of a July 7, 2026, ruling of the Lagos State High Court.
According to the statement,Justice Oresanya had ordered all parties in the chieftaincy dispute over the Oloja of Lagos stool to maintain the status quo ante bellum pending the determination of the substantive suit.
The ruling house alleged that despite the order, police officers had been deployed to the palace, where they were preventing family members and legitimate visitors from gaining access while providing protection for suspected thugs.
It also claimed that Prince Abiola Olojo-Kosoko, described as the Oloja of Lagos-elect, and other family members had received police invitation letters allegedly instigated by the same individuals.
