An Oyo State High Court sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan has adjourned hearing of a defamation of character suit filed against Prophet Amos Ojo, aka Elewuogbo, Mr. Oyeleye Oladele and his publishing firm, Ee-nuel Global Information Ltd, for alleged defamation of Satguru Maharaj Ji, till June 26.
During the hearing of the case, the presiding judge, Justice J.O.S Oyediran, ruled that in the absence of the first and second defendants in court, the case would be heard on the adjourned date.
At the court, Maharaj Ji’s counsel, Fereedah Obisesan, argued that the first and second defendants were aware of the court proceedings, but failed to show up, making it the third time they would snub court sittings.

He said the CMC had been fixed for the adjourned date and the hearing notice would be served on the defendants on the same day.
Satguru Maharaj Ji’s adherents like Prof. Mogokeagba Obagah and Dunni Bolaji, who came from the United Kingdom to witness the court proceedings, testified to the good deeds of the Founder of One Love Family, Maharaj Ji and asked the world to disregard false accusations against Maharaj Ji’s personality.
They advised Ojo, Oladele and his publishing firm, Ee-nuel Global Information Ltd, to come forward in the open and tell the world about their conspiracy against Satguru Maharaj Ji or face consequences of defamation of character by the law of the land.
At press time, a separate criminal hearing of the defamation of character suit filed by Satguru Maharaji Ji against Ojo and Mr. Gbenga Dan Asabe was ongoing at the Magistrates’ Court 7 sitting at Iyaganku in Ibadan. The case was later adjourned till June 17.
