Monarchs tackle Deji of Akure
Traditional rulers in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State have warned the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, to stop ‘further provocative, reckless and aggressive acts of removing and imposing Olus and minor chiefs in the council area’.
The monarchs spoke under the auspices of the Chieftaincy Committee of Akure North Local Government Area. Their statement was signed by their Chairman and Okiti of Iju, Amos Farunkanmi; Oloba of Oba-Ile, Joseph Agunbiade and the Ogbolu of Ita-Ogbolu, Idowu Faborode. The statement reads: “The provocation and aggression of the Deji of Akure against the traditional establishments in Akure North are becoming too many to be tolerated. Sadly, it is now becoming clearer that Oba Aladelusi is either confused or mischievous as to the territorial boundaries of Akure Town. Oba-Ile, Ita-Ogbolu, Iju, Ayede-Ogbese, Osi, Eleyowo, Isinigbo, Owode, and other communities in Akure North are not and have never been part of Akure Town, as the Deji is now claiming.
But Oba Aladelusi, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Michael Adeyeye, said he remains the prescribed authority on minor chiefs and Olus in Akure North.
