The Ogun State High Court has rejected the prayer for an interim injunction from an aspirant to the throne of the Awujale of Ijebuland and Fuji Singer, Otunba Wasiu Olasunkanmi Ayinde Adesanya Marshall, popularly known by his music stage name KWAM1.
Sitting in Ijebu-Ode, the court delivered its ruling on Monday, after the presiding Judge, Ijebu-Ode Judicial Division, Hon. Justice A. A. Omoniyi, held that KWAM1’s motion for an interim injunction lacked merit.
Marshall had asked the court to restrain the Ogun State Government and other respondents from taking any further steps in the process of selecting the next Awujale pending the determination of his suit.
Despite refusing the interim relief, Justice Omoniyi ordered an expeditious hearing of the substantive matter and fixed 14 January 2026 for proceedings.
The applicant is challenging the Awujale succession process, citing alleged breaches of the Ogun State Chieftaincy Law and violation of his constitutional right to fair hearing.
