Popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, better known as K1 De Ultimate or KWAM1, has withdrawn the suit filed before an Ogun State High Court in Ijebu-Ode, seeking an interlocutory injunction to stop the installation process of the next Awujale of Ijebuland.
The singer announced the withdrawal in a notice of discontinuance signed by his lawyer, Wahab Shittu (SAN).
The lawyer said his client has withdrawn the case and asked the court to discontinue the matter initiated to stop the process for choosing the next Awujale of Ijebuland.
“Notice that the Claimnant /Applicant herein wholly discontinuance the above suit against the Defendant/Respondent pursuant to Order 23 (or relevant Order) of the High Court of Ogun State(Civil Procedure) Rules 2024 and under the inherent jurisdiction of this Honourable Court.
“Reasons for Discontinuance

“The Applicant respectfully prays that the Honourable Court to record the discontinuance of this Suit and make orders as it deems fit,” the notice read.
9news Nigeria recalls that Justice A. A Omoniyi of Court 3 in Ijebu-Ode Judicial Division, had on Monday, refused to grant the motion ex parte brought before it by KWAM 1, seeking an interim order to stop the process on the installation of the new Awujale of Ijebuland.
The court held that the application lacked merit and refused to grant an interim injunction to halt the selection process for the next Awujale.
The Court relied on Supreme Court precedent that interim applications must be filed alongside motions on notice.
The Courtnoted that the applicant has not filed a motion on notice and refers to Order 39 Rule 2, which states that the court must not grant an order ex parte unless there is a motion for injunction.
He said, “Where a procedure is laid down for making an order, that’s the only way to get the order. It is fatal to an application for an interim order to not file a motion on notice.
“Additionally, there’s no undertaking as to damages, which, in a plethora of cases, has been held to be absolutely vital.
“The application fails and is refused.”
