A communiqué dated February 16 issued at the end of their meeting, addressed to the State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola and copies made available to journalists in Osogbo, demanded that the Oluwo’s conduct should be investigated by police and be prosecuted accordingly for attacking another monarch before government officials.
It, therefore, called for the creation of a separate traditional rulers’ council in Ayedire and Ola-Oluwa local governments, in the interest of peace in the communities and the state.
“It is a very shameful act for Oluwo to have done that, and that is why he and his fellow chiefs rose to protest. The protesters displayed placards with different inscriptions, such as “Justice must prevail”, “Oluwo is calling for communal war”, “Oluwo has bastardised Yoruba culture”, “Suspend Oluwo Now”, among many others.Reacting to the crisis, the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs. Funke Egbemode, described the Oluwo, Agbowu fight as unfortunate
