Iloro Ekiti community rejects new king over alleged dictatorship, thuggery
newly-installed Oluloro, Oba Femi Olugbesoye with the preferred choice of the town, who can respect tradition and his subjects.
The aggrieved protesters marched round the town with traditional stick called Apasa, which was regarded as a taboo and signalled ominous sign for any Oba to witness such a parade. Agbaje alleged that some gun-wielding thugs had last week attacked his house and the homes of Messrs Adelerin Abioye, Chief Ayo Joseph Osasoke, Chief Michael Ogundele and the head of women wing, Chief Alice Eegunjobi, with intention to banish them from the town.
” There must be a review of his kingship. It has not reached the stage when we will go to court because we believe the government will address the issue properly, but if it fails, we will go to court. Relaying how Oba Olugbesoye was installed, the Sajowa of the town, Chief Olusegun Ogundele, explained that “We were here on September 9, 2019, when some soldiers and police bombarded the town. They teleguided our kingmakers to come with one Ifa divinator. Despite that they brought the Ifa priest, Olugbesoye had the worst Ifa ranking among the three candidates presented.
