Palace siege: Olojo Kosoko Ruling House urges police to obey court order

The ruling house said it had forwarded certified true copies of the court order and other relevant documents to the Commissioner of Police, adding that the Inspector-General of Police, the Lagos State Attorney-General, the Registrar of the Lagos State High Court, the Oba of Lagos and the Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor had also been notified.

By Dapo AkinrefonThe Olojo Kosoko Ruling House of Lagos has faulted what it described as an unlawful siege on the Oloja of Lagos Palace, despite a subsisting court order directing parties to maintain the status quo.“The Palace is currently under siege, and this direct violation of a court order is a recipe for a breakdown of law and order on Lagos Island,” Prince Surajudeen said, urging the police not to allow themselves to be used in a civil chieftaincy dispute already before the court.
