His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr) Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin (Ige Olakulehin I), the Olubadan of Ibadanland, has suspended two Mogajis and stripped them of their traditional beads with immediate effect.
The disciplinary action was announced during the Olubadan Land Matters Committee meeting held at the Old Olubadan Palace, Oja Oba, Ibadan, on Thursday.
Represented by the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, the monarch stated that the suspension would remain in place until the affected Mogajis “do the needful” to rectify their actions.
”You have been told severally to desist from any act that can tarnish the reputation and image of the Olubadan and Ibadanland such as land grabbing, trespassing, forceful land taking, oppression of your family members and other residents in your domain” the monarch reiterated.
Those affected include Mogaji Kamorudeen Kolawole of the Kukula family, Oke-Ofa Baba Isale in Ibadan North East LGA, and Mogaji Samsudeen Bello of the Ekerin Ajengbe family, Isale Osi in Ibadan South West LGA.
