An Ondo High Court presided over by Justice Enikuomehin has deposed a first-class monarch in Ose Local Council of Ondo State, the Olute of Ute, Oba Michael Adetunji.
Adetunji, a retired military officer, was dethroned after 29 years of prolonged chieftancy tussle between the Olule Omoloja ruling house and the dethroned Oba.
Justice Enikuomehin ruled that the deposed monarch, who was a retired major, should stop parading himself as Olute.
While ordering a fresh selection process from within the Olule Omoloja ruling lineage, the court, which awarded damages, also affirmed that Oluwole has no right to the throne as a member of the kingmakers.
While speaking on the judgment, counsel to the claimant, Mr. Adewumi Fabuluje, said it was victory at last for the Olule Omolaja Ruling House, stating that the case started in 1995 and traversed all courts.
Fabuluje explained that the case was returned from the Supreme Court to the High Court for a fresh hearing after judgment was awarded at the Appellate Court.
