A frontline legal luminary, Chief Yomi Aliyu SAN said he has intitiated judicial move to stop installation of Gen A. B. Dambazzau as Jagunmolu of Edeland.
Oba (Dr) Munirudeen Adesola Lawal, Agbale Laminisa 1, the Timi of Ede land, Osun state, on friday announces the decision to confer on Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau, former Chief of Army Staff and former Minister of Interior the esteemed title of Jagunmolu of Ede land.
But in a swift reaction, Chief Yomi Aliyu SAN said the news came with a rude shock as the chieftaincy is not vacant.
The legal luminary said ” Chief Yomi Alliyu SAN was installed as the JAGUNMOLU OF EDELAND since March 1999 by Kaabiyesi HRM Oba Tijanni Oyedokun Agbonran II, the then Timi of Edeland, with HRM Oba Okunade Sijuwade in attendance.”
“We have set in motion judicial process to correct the anomaly should the current Timi, who I hold in high esteem, insists on going forward with the said installation of our highly reverred Gen Dambazzau”
“We can think of no reason for appointing another to a post held by me other than that I defended my client, Gov Isiaka Oyetola, in the last election. As a person that supports APC from AD time I could not do otherwise”
