The Oyo State High Court in Ogbomoso has invalidated the appointment of Oba Ghandi Olaoye as the new Soun of Ogbomoso, ruling in favor of contestant Kabir Laoye. The court's decision came after Laoye filed a lawsuit claiming that Olaoye was ineligible for the Soun position. As a result, the Oyo State Government was ordered not to appoint anyone to the position until after the court's judgment.
The ruling signifies a significant development in the selection process for the Soun of Ogbomoso and is expected to prompt a fresh selection process for the position.
