An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ogbomoso has nullified the appointment of Pastor Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye as Soun of Ogbomoso.

The Oyo state government had in August 2023 announced Pastor Ghandi Olaoye as the new Soun.

According to report, before this time, another aspirant for the position, Kabir Laoye, approached the court to challenge the eligibility of Ghandi.

Prince Kabir Olaoye who challenged Ghandi’s selection explained that there was a flaw in the selection process.

While delivering his judgment, Justice Adedokun announced that the appointment of King Laoye was illegal. He also ordered the kingmakers to start a new selection process to elect a new Soun.
