A Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja has removed Ahmed Muhammed Tajani Anaje as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Salisu Umar, who issued the ruling on Monday, also directed Anaje to cease parading himself as the paramount traditional ruler of Ebiraland.

The case, numbered HCO/05C/2024, was brought before the court by Dr. Barnabas Adeku Ojiah and two others against the Governor of Kogi State and Anaje.
The petitioners challenged the legality of Anaje’s appointment, citing irregularities in the process that led to his emergence as the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
Anaje was appointed to the position by former Governor Yahaya Bello in January 2024.
The court’s ruling effectively nullifies his appointment, further mandating compliance with traditional and legal procedures for selecting a new Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
