In the writ, six other monarchs from the three local governments who claimed to be available during the faceoff deposed to affidavits to testify on behalf of the Agbowu.
The plaintiff narrated the genesis of the crisis as to Oluwo’s claim that anyone who sold land more than 10acres around the three councils should obtain his authorization, otherwise the sale would be invalid.
