The court also ordered Olayinka to vacate the stool of the Olu-Odo of Odo-Ijesa, pending the determination of the suit before it.
Parties in the matter had appeared before Justice M. Okediya on Monday, as counsel to the plaintiff, Fatima Adesina, who filed an application, asked the court to set aside any letter of appointment or instrument of appointment that would have been given to the defendant.
But counsel to the defendant, Mr. T. Giwa, though told by the court to respond orally to the application, declined, saying he had not been properly briefed on the matter.
A prince of Odo-Ijesa, Hammed Odeyemi had, on January 19, 2021, dragged Olayinka alongside the state governor, the state Attorney-General and the kingmakers to court, over the vacant royal stool.
The plaintiff through his counsel, Adesina, on February 2, 2022, filed an interlocutory injunction, asking the court to order a stay of execution, pending the determination of the substantive suit by the court.
Adesina moved the motion on June 14, 2022.
Ruling on the motion on Monday, Okediya restrained the defendants, particularly the governor, the state Attorney-General and the Atakumosa East Local Government or their agents, from sending the name of Olayinka or accepting his name as the Olu-Odo elect of Odo-Ijesa.
