CaseLaw
This appeal is in respect of the right candidate to be the Baale of Igbogila. The Appellants had instituted an action in the High Court claiming several reliefs the most prominent being that the 1st Respondent being of Oshin family which is not a ruling house in Igbogila, the approval accorded to his candidature is null and void and unconstitutional in that it is contrary to the customary law of Igbogila, and violates the spirit of the provisions of the Chiefs Law (Cap. 19) Laws of Western Nigeria as applicable in Ogun State. In the Court of first instance judgment was given to the Plaintiffs. The present Respondents thereupon appealed to the Court of Appeal which reversed the judgment of the High Court and gave judgment in favour of the said Respondents and set aside the judgment of the High Court. Piqued no doubt by the turn of events the Plaintiffs with the leave of the Court appealed to this Court.
