A vacation judge of the Ogun State High Court, Justice A. A. Omoniyi, sitting in Court 3, Ijebu-Ode, on Wednesday ordered that a suit filed by the Fusengbuwa ruling house against Governor Dapo Abiodun, the Awujale kingmakers and other defendants be returned to the administrative judge for reassignment.
The suit, which challenges the alleged stoppage of the process for selecting the next Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, was filed on August 21, 2026, and numbered HCJ/149/2026.
Justice Omoniyi said he would be proceeding on his annual vacation within the next one week and might not resume until January 2027.
He said, although he was aware of the urgency of the matter, he was constrained by the limited time available to him before his vacation.
