Foremost Yoruba monarch Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi will on Thursday meet with President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Premium Times sources, the meeting is coming at the instance of Oba Adeyemi whose previous efforts at meeting the president did not materialize.
According to Mr. Buhari’s schedule for Thursday, seen by this Premium newspaper, the meeting will hold at the State House between 2pm and 2.30pm, lasting just 30 minutes.
It is unclear why the monarch is visiting the president. But some commentators suspect it might be connected to his ongoing case with the police.
The Ibadan Division of the Federal High Court had on December 15, 2014, issued an order of mandamus compelling the Inspector General of Police to investigate Oba Adeyemi for alleged murder, bomb planting, unlawful possession of arms and other offences.
But over a year after the order, the police failed to act, causing the petitioners to write Mr. Buhari in January this year.
The petitioners asked Mr. Buhari to compel the police to execute the Ibadan court order, an effort that has yielded no fruit.
