Court sacks Redeemed Pastor Ghandi as Soun of Ogbomoso and orders fresh selection process

The Oyo State High Court sitting in Ogbomoso on Wednesday, Oct. 25, upturned the appointment of the new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Olaoye. 

Recall that the Oyo State Government announced Redeemed Pastor Ghandi Olaoye as the new Soun and made him king on 8th September 2023. 

Before this time, one of the contestants, Kabir Laoye had sued Ghandi Olaoye, noting that he was not eligible to take Soun’s position. 

The court ordered that the Oyo State government must not appoint anyone to the position, until after its judgement.
