A former Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Afolabi Ghandi Laoye, on Friday was installed at the new Soun of Ogbomoso, Oyo State. His installation was under the watch of traditionalists who performed the necessary rites before he could sit on the throne amidst jubilation by family members, associates and kinsmen. To be addressed officially as His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III the new monarch was at the palace, on Friday, for an official installation which was performed at Abata by the kingmakers led by the Areago High Chief Sobalaje Otolorin.
His installation was in spite of a court order stopping Governor Seyi Makinde from the choice. The kingmakers however claimed they did not receive any court injunction restraining them from installing Ghandi as the new Soun of Ogbomoso.
