Tension as two monarchs emerge in Ogun community

Tension has gripped residents of Ibafo in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, following the emergence of two obas-elect with each of them claiming to be the rightful owner of the throne.

The Ibafo Traditional Council has petitioned the Ogun State government and the Alake of Egba land, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, to prevent a possible bloodbath in the community.
Addressing journalists at the weekend, the Obain- Council said Otunba of Ibafo, Solomon Ajileja, was in 2012 appointed as the oba-elect by the Alake of Egbaland, while some people were supporting Kazeem Alayande, who was allegedly imposed on the community by the state government.
The Ibafo Oba-in-Council said in a letter dated August 3, sent to the Alake of Egbaland and copied to the commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, expressed determination to resist any attempt by government to impose a monarch on the town.https://newtelegraphonline.com/tension-two-monarchs-emerge-ogun-community/
