Prince Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye has been installed as the 21st Soun of Ogbomosoland in Oyo State.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Prince Olaoye, a former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), was installed as the new Soun of Ogbomoso on Friday.
Popularly referred to as Pastor G in the United States of America (USA), where he served as a pastor in the RCCG, Olaoye arrived in Ogbomoso early in the morning on a private chopper, which landed at the Ogbomoso Grammar School, before moving to the palace.
An official installation ceremony was performed at Abata by the kingmakers led by the Areago High Chief, Sobalaje Otolorin.
TNG reports the installation of Olaoye as the 21st Soun of Ogbomoso followed a long-drawn legal tussle.
Recall the Soun of Ogbomoso stool became vacant after Oba Jimoh Oyewumi transited to the great beyond on December 12, 2021.
However, kingmakers during the installation ceremony on Friday said they did not receive any court injunction restraining them from installing Olaoye as the new Soun of Ogbomoso.
TNG reports the new Oba is proclaimed His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III.
