The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has taken decisive action against two Mogajis (family heads) over allegations of land grabbing, suspending them and stripping them of their traditional beads.
The affected chiefs are Kamorudeen Kolawole, Mogaji of the Kukula family, Oke-Ofa Baba Isale in Ibadan North East Local Government, and Samsudeen Bello, Mogaji of the Ekerin Ajengbe family, Isale Osi in Ibadan South West Local Government Area.
The action was announced during a meeting of the Olubadan Land Matters Committee held on Thursday at the Old Olubadan Palace in Oja Oba, Ibadan.
The decision was conveyed in an official statement by the monarch’s Chief Press Secretary, Solomon Olugbemiga Ayoade.
Representing the monarch at the meeting, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Chief Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, confirmed the indefinite suspension of the two chiefs, stating they must “retrace their steps and do the needful” before any reconsideration.
“You have been repeatedly warned to refrain from activities that tarnish the image of the Olubadan and Ibadanland, including land grabbing, trespassing, and the intimidation of family members and residents,” Ladoja said on behalf of the king.
The monarch further directed that the suspended Mogajis cease all use of their titles immediately and instructed law enforcement to arrest any suspended traditional title holder who defies the order.
Oba Olakulehin also criticized several other Mogajis and Baales (village heads) for ignoring the committee’s summons, warning that their continued absence could result in further disciplinary measures, including the loss of their titles.
Present at the meeting were prominent traditional leaders including Oba Abiodun Kola Daisi (Ashipa Olubadan), Oba Dauda Abiodun Azees (Ashipa Balogun), Oba Salaudeen Hamidu Ajibade (Ekerin Olubadan), and other committee members like Chief Isiaka Akinpelu, Mogaji Ariori, Mogaji Adeleke Lukman, and Mogaji Abdul Rasaq Akinola.
