An Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo on Wednesday vacated the Stay of Execution order restraining the state government from approving the selection of Prince Yinusa Olalekan Akadiri as the next Akirun of Ikirun land.

The order to stop the selection of new Akirun from Oba-Ara and Adedeji Ruling Houses was sought by the Gboleru Ruling House.
Akinrun-elect, Akadri had emerged through an election conducted by the kingmakers of Ikirun after the court had ruled that they should move to the next ruling house due to inability of Gboleru to present candidate for the vacant stool.

Gboleru approached the court and granted exparte motion for the government to stay execution on the approval of the process and subsequent announcement of Kadiri as the new Akinrun of Ikirun.

In his ruling on Wednesday, Justice Jide Falola described the application as frivolous, immature and lacking in merit and therefore was dismissed.
