A high court in Lokoja, Kogi State, has removed His Majesty Ahmed Muhammed Tajani Anaje as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
The ruling, delivered by Justice Salisu Umar of High Court 6 on Monday, directed the dethroned monarch to cease presenting himself as the paramount traditional ruler of Ebiraland.
The case was brought before the court by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two other plaintiffs, challenging the legitimacy of Anaje’s position.
The lawsuit named the Governor of Kogi State as the defendant, seeking a legal remedy regarding the traditional leadership of the region
