BY INNOCENT ANABA

Lagos — For allegedly disobeying a court order, the head of Oshodi Tapa Chieftaincy family, Pa Fatai Oshodi and a member of the family, Dr. Mustapha Oshodi, have initiated contempt proceedings against some members of the family to ensure the enforcement of the court order.

The contempt proceedings against Chief Babatunde Oshodi, Alhaji Rasaq Oshodi, Alhaji Sura Oshodi and a lawyer, Victor Otuyemi, before a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, is over alleged disregard to the consent judgment delivered by Justice Ojikutu Oshode (rtd.) two years ago.

In the judgment, the court had ordered the defendants to vacate Iga Oshodi and stop parading themselves as custodians of the Oshodi Tapa Chieftaincy family and as council executive members.
