Justice Salisu Umar of a Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja, the state capital, has sacked the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Alhaji Ahmed Muhammed Tijani Anaje, from the royal stool.
Recall that Anaje was appointed as Ohinoyi of Ebira Land by the former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, in January 2024.
However, in a ruling delivered on Monday, February 3, Justice Umar made an order directing the defendant (Anaje) in a suit before to stop parading himself as the paramount traditional ruler of Ebiraland.
Though the court was yet to make available details of the judgement, it was learnt that the case with Suit Number HCO/05C/2024, was filed by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two others against the Governor of Kogi State.
