JUST IN: Court Sacks Ohinoyi of Ebiraland from Throne

A Nigerian court has removed the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland from his royal position, sparking reactions across the region. Details of the ruling are emerging.

On Monday, Justice Salisu Umar of High Court 6 issued a ruling instructing the dethroned monarch to stop identifying as the principal traditional leader of Ebiraland.
