Kingmakers in Oyo, otherwise known as the Oyomesi, have dragged Governor Seyi Makinde and others to court in a new turn of event.

In their allegations, they described as the unlawful use of the Oyo State Anti Corruption Agency(OYACA) to harass and intimidate them, including through threat of arrests.

Recall that this platform in multiple story, reported the crisis between both parties.

The crisis which started when the governor called for a fresh process for the selection of the Alaafin of Oyo.

The majority of kingmakers rejected because they had selected a candidate in a process that met all the criteria stipulated by the law.

The governor eventually settled for another candidate selected without the consent of the majority of the kingmakers, a move that they rejected and have since approached the court to seek redress against.

However, in multiple filings before the Federal High Court in Ibadan, three of the kingmakers, Yusuf Akinade, Basorun of Oyo; Wakeel Akindele, Lagunna of Oyo, and Hamzat Yusuf, Akinniku of Oyo, are urging the court to help protect their fundamental human right and put an end to the Governor’s alleged witch hunt

In their separate filings, they alleged that the governor ordered the state anti-corruption agency to invite them for an investigation on January 21st and the invitation letter was dated January 20th, the day before the scheduled invitation.

They urged the court to declare that the harassment, intimidation, threat of arrest and attempted arrest by OYACA officers acting at the behest of the governor is “unwarranted, baseless, unlawful, unconstitutional” and constitutes a violation and threat of his right to liberty, dignity and agents.

They also noted that the action of the agency is unacceptable because the issue is already being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and subject of Appeal No. CA/IB/134/2024 and as such their action amounts to a breach of the law
