Could this be a taboo as dethroned Oba Adepoju appears in Akure

Five years after his dethronement as the Deji of Akure by the Ondo
 state government, Adesina Adepoju has appeared publicly in the
 town.
The public appearance of Adepoju, which was at the instance of a case
 he instituted against the new Deji of Akure and the state government
 at a state High Court sitting in Akure witnessed encomiums by
 residents of the ancient town, especially members of Osupa ruling
 house, where he hails from.
The deposed monarch had instituted a case challenging his dethronement
 by the state government and the installation of Oba Ogunlade
 Aladetoyinbo as the Deji of Akure.
Adepoju claimed that he was wrongly deposed as the Deji of Akure by
 the state government and sought for an order of the court declaring
 him as the Deji of Akure.
Adepoju was dethroned on June 10, 2010 for allegedly assaulting one of
 his wives, Late Mrs Bolanle Adepoju in the public and consequently
 banished to a location within the state before he left the country for
 the United States of America.
However, his removal paved way for the installation of late Oba
 Adebiyi Adesida in 2010 as the 46th Deji of Akure and his daughter
 was installed the Regent of the city after his death.
Counsel to the deposed monarch, Mr Olalekan Ojo told the court that
 the monarch has the right to the throne and wondered why a new monarch
 was installed.
The Chief Judge of the state, Justice Olaseinde Kumuyi who presided
 over the court adjourned further hearing on the matter till 8th
 December, 2015.
However, there was apprehension in Akure that the deposed
 Deji of Akure; Adepoju was quizzed by detectives from the state Police
 command, Akure after leaving the court.
Adepoju who left the court in a convoy danced from the court to his
 family compound located at Odo Ijoka Street, Akure where he addressed
 his loyalists who were mainly members of his family.
But the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state Police
 command, Mr Femi Joseph denied the rumoured arrest of the deposed
 monarch, saying “the man has not committed any offence to warrant his
 arrest by the Police.”
He said the presence of Police officers on the street, especially
 around the residence of the deposed monarch was to ensure security of
 lives and property, adding that “the Police have the right to prevent
 hoodlums from high jacking the situation to perpetrate dastardly act.”
