His Royal Majesty, Ahmed Muhammed Tajani Anaje, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland has been removed from office by a Kogi State High Court.
Justice Salisu Umar on Monday, in his ruling, stated that Anaje hereby cease from parading himself as the paramount traditional ruler of Ebiraland.
The case, numbered HCO/05C/2024, was brought before the court by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two others against the Governor of Kogi State and Anaje.
The petitioners challenged the legality of Anaje’s appointment, citing irregularities in the process that led to his emergence as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
Anaje was appointed to the position by former Governor Yahaya Bello in January 2024.
The Court’s ruling effectively nullifies his appointment, further mandating compliance with traditional and legal procedures for selecting a new Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
