A request to prevent the Osun State Government from appointing a replacement to sit on the vacant throne of the Olufon of Ifon was denied by Justice Ayo Oyebiyi of the Osun State High Court in Osogbo.

The Odunolu Oluronbi and Oluyeyin royal families of Ifon offered the oral invocation.

OBASANJO NEWS24 learned that the Oluyeyin and Odunolu royal families had contacted the court and requested an injunction to prevent the state government from moving forward with the process of installing the new Olufon of Ifon.

While rejecting the order, Justice Oyebiyi recalled issuing a number of orders on the same subject.

He stated that a key factor in denying the order was the absence of witnesses from other parties who were interested in the case.

The court then postponed the hearing until October 12, 2023.
