BREAKING: Court sacks Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Ahmed Anaje

A Kogi State High Court in Lokoja has nullified the appointment of HRM Ahmed Muhammed Tajani Anaje as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.

Presiding over the case on Monday, Justice Salisu Umar ordered Anaje to stop parading himself as the paramount ruler of Ebiraland.

The case, numbered HCO/05C/2024, was filed by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two others against the Governor of Kogi State and Anaje, challenging the legality of his appointment due to alleged irregularities in the selection process.

Anaje was appointed in January 2024 by former Governor Yahaya Bello.

With this ruling, his appointment stands void, and the court has mandated adherence to traditional and legal procedures in selecting a new Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
