Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi has reportedly deposed some traditional rulers in the state.
This was announced by Bello during a media parley after the Executive Council Meeting in Lokoja on Sunday.

He said the monarchs were deposed after going through all the required procedures and adhering to our traditional and chieftaincy laws, rules, and regulations.

Bello said: “His Royal Highness, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Isah Koto, the Ohimege-Igu Koton-Karfe, who is also the chairman, Lokoja/Kogi local government area traditional council is hereby removed and to be deposed to, Rijau Local Government Area of Niger state.”

He further added that “His Royal Highness, Sam Bola Ojoa, the Olu Magongo of Magongo, is removed and to be deposed to Salka, Magama Local Government Area of Niger State.”

His Royal Highness, Samuel Adayi Onimisi, the Obobanyi of Emani, is removed and to be deposed to Doko, Lavun Local Government Area of Niger state.”

On the deposition of Onimisi, Governor Bello said the title “OBOBANYI OF IHIMA” which reads on the promotion letter, upgrading the stool to first-class status, “was done without cognisance to the fact that the title; “OBOBANYI OF IHIMA” is a subject of litigation and the court of law is yet to arrive at the possible final decision, as such, the Government have however received several petitions, calling attention to the need to revert and maintain status quo, until the court of law decides.”

“To this end, the stool is hereby reverted to “OBOBANYI OF EMANI” as the present occupant remains deposed.”

The governor also said His Royal Highness, Boniface Musa, the ONU-IFE in Omala Local Government is to be suspended indefinitely.

Following appropriate government involvement to address the persistent disputes that have plagued the selection process, the government thus announces the appointments of the future occupants on the following seats.

That: Alhaji Ahmed Tijani Anaje, who is the OHI OF OKENWE, is hereby appointed as the OHINOYI OF EBIRALAND as well as Alhaji Ibrahim Gambo Kabir is hereby appointed as the MAIGARI OF LOKOJA, and Alhaji Dauda Isah, is hereby appointed as the MAIYAKI OF KUPA

Mallam Saidu Akawo Salihu was also appointed as the OHIMEGE-IGU KOTON- and he is to be turban immediately.

Yeye be....

I believe they (the 4 traditional rulers) didn't the evil party called APC in the last governorship election.

Noted.

Fallout of elections

Hmmm. Why the last-minute deposition and banishment? If we deem it fit to state this in the public domain, why hide their 'heinous sins'? I believe the governor might have infringed on the rights of the traditional rulers. There's no constitutional provision for banishment of anybody in Nigeria. If the deposed are victims of politics, they need to appeal to a court.

I pity Bello

This guy sabi abuse power

Just look at the executive abi na royal rascality

Bello is a disaster that happened to kogi state very clueless man like buharia and tinubu

Just when you think you have heard the last from this yeye bello.

Dieing horse power

They probably worked against him

He's punishing them for the political they refused to give him, knowing fully well that he's failed as a governor ..

Of a truth, Nigerian governors are worse than the presidency in of abusing power and embezzlement; Wike, Obaseki, Bello, Ortom, Ikpeazu, Rocha's, Gandollar, El-Rufai, to mention but a few...

Hahaha Hahaha

Why is this governor trying to initiate a communal war in his state despite imposing a stooge in the government house

Wawu

Kogi State was cursed with Yahaya Bello

Why

My happiness is that, Yahaya Bello is an outgoing governor. The evil he perpetuated while in office shall hunt him

The deposed traditional rulers should go to court to challenge this illegality

Bello - typical representation of an average Kogi man.

Sacrilege

Lool

Rugged you

/
No big deal.

Traditional rulers choose to make themselves political stooges.

/

No respect for tradition again

Power drunk

That king that was banished to lavun local government area of niger state will not like to come back to kogi again. Reason been that in that local government they love s£x so much and they will spoil him silly with it.

The last time I was in that local government, almost all their women look like hilda baci I couldn't believe my eyes.

Mornachy system of government is worse than what we are experiencing today. In monarchy there may be no change of power during your lifetime on earth, meaning if the king is bad the masses will suffer until the eventual death of that bad king.
