Adebiyi and Modile are claiming that Akiolu is not entitled to be on the throne because he is not a member of a ruling royal family by not being a direct descendant of  Oba Ado, the first Oba of Lagos.
According to the claimants, only members of the Ologun Kutere and Akinsemoyin ruling households were entitled to the throne.
They have also alleged that proper customary rules and procedures were not followed when he was installed as Oba in May 2003.
