Breaking: Yahaya Bello deposes the Kogi monarch and banishes him to Niger State

Alhaji Abdulrazaq Isa Koto, the Ohimege Igu, Konto-Nkarfe, was overthrown by the Kogi State Government, led by Governor Yahaya Bello, a first-class traditional leader.

In Niger State’s Rijau Local Government District, the overthrown monarch was likewise exiled.

Alhaji Salihu Akawu Seidu, or SAS, was nominated by state governor Yayaha Bello to succeed Ohimege, who was ousted.

In order to prevent a vacuum, Bello ordered Seidu to get a turban right now.

Additionally, the governor declared that Alhaji Ahmed Tijani Anaje, the current Ohi of Okenwen, would now serve as the new Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.

After going through all the proper procedures and consulting our Traditional and Chieftaincy Laws, Rules, and Regulations, we have arrived at the following resolutions, Bello announced the developments shortly after the State Executive Committee met.

Hereby, the Ohimege-Igu Koton-Karfe, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Isah Koto, the Chairman of the Lokoja/Kogi Local Government Area Traditional Council, is to be deposed to the Rijau Local Government Area of Niger State.

In Salka, the Magama Local Government Area of Niger State, His Royal Highness, Sam Bola Ojo, the Olu Magongo of Magongo, is to be overthrown.

The deposed Obobanyi of Emani, His Royal Highness Samuel Adayi Onimisi, is being taken to Doko in the Lavun Local Government Area of Niger State.

“That Comparably, in decision No. 3, the phrase “OBOBANYI OF IHIMA” was used to upgrade the stool to first class status on the promotion letter without taking into account the fact that the phrase is the subject of litigation and that the court of law has not yet reached a final decision. Consequently, the government has received multiple petitions emphasizing the necessity of returning to the status quo and maintaining it until the court of law makes a ruling.

“In light of the current occupant’s deposition, the stool is hereby reverted to “OBOBANYI OF EMANI.”

“IFE in Omala Local Government will be suspended indefinitely by His Royal Highness, Boniface Musa.

The government hereby announces the appointments of the next occupants on the following seats, following appropriate action to address the outstanding disputes that have dogged the selection process.

“It is now official that Alhaji Ibrahim Gambo Kabir is the MAIGARI OF LOKOJA.

KUPA appoints Alhaji Dauda Isah as its MAIYAKI.

As per the ODAKI RULING HOUSE’s selection decision dated 27/4/2012 and the Lokoja/Kogi Local Government Area Traditional Council’s endorsement dated 14/5/2012, Mallam Saidu Akawo Salihu has been appointed as the OHIMEGE-IGU KOTON-KARFE. It is imperative that he be turbaned immediately to prevent any vacancy.

In light of the 1998 high court ruling that fully recognized ODODO as the legitimate offspring of ITA’AZI, the land’s father, and UHUODO as a separate district with equal rights, the stool of OHI OF UHUODO is hereby established, and the procedures for occupying it will start right away.
