According to a letter from the law firm of Dipo Olasope and co, “Toyin, who is the first child of late Alao-Akala, has been sidelined in the scheme of things.
Olamide, her mother and two other siblings, including Olamiju Alao-Akala, who is a serving House of Representatives member, Kemi, who was first lady during the tenure of Alao-Akala as Governor and her son, Olamikunle, are working in unison to appropriate the estate of the deceased among the six of them, thereby disenfranchising other legitimate children of Alao-Akala from benefiting from the estate of their late father.”
The letter also revealed that the defendants, Kemi Alao-Akala and Olamide Alao, after approaching the probate registry of the state High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan, to process the illegal letter of administration, without the consent of Toyin, who is the first child of the family, dealt wrongly and illegally with the assets of the deceased Alao-Akala.
A 21-day notice was issued to the defendants to amend the letter of administration to accommodate Toyin and correct other anomalies therein, while another seven days’ notice was issued as required by law before the claimant approached the Court to seek legal redress.
That the claimant, being the first biological daughter of late Adebayo Alao-Akala (deceased), is entitled to inherit and have an equal share (if not more) in the estate of late Adebayo Alao-Akala, who died intestate on January 12, 2022.
A declaration that the defendants have no right whatsoever to deny the claimant her bon-fide right(s), interest, and entitlement to the estate of late Adebayo Alao-Akala.
A declaration that the letter of administration granted to the defendants by the state High Court on October 6, 2022, in connection with late Adebayo Alao-Akala’s estate was fraudulently and illegally obtained and, therefore, illegal, null and void, among other reliefs sought from the court.
