A Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja has removed HRM Ahmed Muhammed Tajani Anaje as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, nullifying his appointment made by former Governor Yahaya Bello in January 2024.

In a ruling delivered on Monday, Justice Salisu Umar directed Anaje to cease parading himself as the paramount traditional ruler of Ebiraland, effectively voiding his appointment as the traditional head of the region.

The case, filed under suit number HCO/05C/2024, was brought before the court by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two others, challenging the legality of Anaje’s appointment. The petitioners named both the Governor of Kogi State and Anaje as defendants in the suit.

The court found merit in the petitioners’ arguments regarding irregularities in the selection process that led to Anaje’s emergence as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland. Following the ruling, the court has mandated compliance with traditional and legal procedures for selecting a new Ohinoyi.
