The Supreme Court has thrown out the application filed by Dr Ado Ibrahim for stay of execution of the concurrent judgements of the Court of Appeal and Kogi State High Court that deposed him as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
Ado had asked the apex court to make an order stopping the Kogi State government from dethroning him on the strength of the two judgements pending the determination of his appeal before it.
But Justice Francis Fedode Tabai-led five man panel of five justices struck out the motion following the withdrawal of the application by Ado’s lawyer, Mr. Olumole Aladedoye.
The apex court justices had told Aladedoye that they were no longer prepared to hear any injunctive applications alone, except with the main appeal.
The court adjourned to February 13, to commence hearing on the main appeal by the Ebira paramount traditional ruler against the two court judgments that ordered his removal from the throne.
Ado Ibrahim was appointed Ohinoyi of Ebiraland and paramount traditional ruler of Ebira kingdom on June 2, 1997 but was deposed on April 3, 2006.
