• May face govt panel next week
By MOSHOOD ADEBAYO, Abeokuta
Indications emerged yesterday that the two suspended traditional rulers in Ogun State, Oba Fatai Akamo, the Olu of Itori and his counterpart, Oba Adisa Akinremi, the village head of Lapeleke, may next week face a panel of enquiry for engaging in public fight.
Saturday Sun investigations revealed that this will be a prelude to the dethronement of the Obas, whose conducts have been described as shameful by the state government. Oba Akamo allegedly slapped Oba Akinremi over a disagreement on traditional matters, at Divisional Office of Nigeria Police Station in Itori, Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.
The latest development coincided with a protest by indigenes of Onigbedu village yesterday, who stormed the governor’s office, at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, calling for the removal of Oba Akamo. During the protest, the angry villagers displayed placards calling the Olu of Itori names.
The village head of Onigbedu, Oba Sikiru Jinadu, blamed Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo for the crisis. The protesters, who presented a protest letter to the state governor accused the embattled Oba of sitting on the salaries of some lesser Obas in the area.
The protest letter reads in part: “That chieftaincy fraud was perpetuated in the year 2010 by some traditional rulers specifically in appointing Chief Matthew Ajibulu, an Imeko indigene, as Olu of Onigbedu without any iota of consultation and inputs of the various ruling houses in Onigbedu.
“That more importantly, there is an existing Oba Yinusa Akinwande appointed by His Royal Majesty, Oba Dosunmu, the Olowu of Owu kingdom in the year 2006 and the said appointment was supported by all ruling houses in Onigbedu town.”
I just beg the community not to fight each other because of the two obas. They are not fighting for you. They are fighting for their entitlements, money.
The government of Nigeria have succeeded in using them as tools of distruction, mostly in yoruba land. They are no more usefull for the society. The function of obas have been dengerouly poluted in our lands.
Let them fight.
Too much oil money caused the two Obas to collide in Iyabo’s house in Ketu, Lagos. I think Iyabo should be made to answer why she collects from both men at the same time? But the two Obas are guilty of adultery. On the other hand, Iyabo is prostituting across state boundaries, and therefore guilty of exporting crime from Ogun State to Lagos.
I have said it before that their actions on public by fighting against one another is too shameful. The Oba that first toke the casting ie Oba Akamo should be blamed so much for taking such an irrational act against his fellow high chief. He is the one that caused all these show of shame. They should be suspended for one yr, then reinstalled again thereafter. They should not enjoy any subventions under the one yr probation.
shameful for obas to fight in public.
They should be disciplined.
Yorugba people and criminality are siamese twin
Arinze,how? How about our people?
Been d only coment l don’t know what arinze want to achieve in this provocative coment. I dare say may thunder strike you to pieces
No Comment.
Arinze hope u’re not an Igbo guy. If u are then i’ll know dat d kettle have started calling d pot black. Who is more criminaly inclined than u south east/south south born guys?
Kalu think he is championing the cinterest of his Iyanmuri people by constantly finding fault with other Nigerians be it Yoruba or Hausa. Funny enough, his fellow Iyanmunri Igbo’s can not even stay in thier own land. Even the medium (Sun) with which he Kalu is using is based in Lagos. It will not be sustainable in the East. Here in the North, they refuse to leave despite omplaining daily that they are been attached. And now they can even form thier own Biafra if they want, but the foolish Ibo people continue to live in denial.
No need to say much about your people Arinze. It is just a case of port calls kettle black.
Its all about money sharing,See how their traditional rulers are dancing naked in the street over money.Where are those Yoruba yabis that latch at any slightest opportunity to insult Igbos.Let them now cover their face and mouth in shame.They can now see that the love for money transcends tribes and tongue,positions,profession and status.
Your comment is so sad. I never hear a yoruba person said something bad about ibo people. We are talking about leadership on a news at a time.
The reason is Nigerians have bad leaders in all corners in Nigeria. The probem is people like you are blind folded with tribes you do not see it that way. If you read what i wrote yesterday about those traditional leaders, you may understand. You will never see any good Nigeria who will say his own tribe is better than the other. We all have leadership problem as Nigerian
I bet you, those leaders are sucessful because they are togerther as one family that is why they conquire us nagatively.
when any one talk about ibo leadership, it does not mean they hate ibo it is because the man on the news on that particular time is from ibo, a leader in Nigeria. Their leadership characharistics influences all Nigerians. If you want, you can fight yoruba all you want. The problem is it does not solve a problem. We are not going to go forward because of people like you who think every think is tribal.
if you want to help Nigerians or “yoruba” you can put idea on the situation not attacking race.
You can even say yoruba obas are crazy and stupid. That doen’t mean you hate yoruba. it is because they are.
If two oba can descend so low before a dpo and engage in a fisticut, what moral right has they to continue on the throne. They should vacate the stool without delay.
Government pay obas? That is why our system is filthy, the people of a locality should support their obas not government!
Hmmmm,it a pity very shamful act a leader for that matter.
@peter when u knew it transcend tribes and tongue, then what temerity do u have to point acussing finger @ yoruba race when the other 4 fingers pointed back to igbo oba’s?
Chief Sikiru jinadu is a Baale, I happen 2 be an indigene of Onigbedu, I absconded 2 akwa ibom, where I currently reside, Akamo use d police as errand boys also, he wanted 2 eliminate some of us dat was why I ran away frm d south-west, he even went 2 d extent of detaining 75yrs old Baale for 2days n some of our youth and community leaders were detained for 5days @ eleweran, 4 no reason. He is only after d largess of the cement companies @ ewekoro LGA
Wonders shall never end oh!. Two traditional rulers have just shown the world how they dislike each other.What will be their reasons before their people?
That is true my brother. The love of money transcends beyond tribes. Everybody loves money and nobody can do without money
Leaders should live by good example, especially the traditional rulers. They should shun covetousness like a canker which had destroyed so many political leaders.
They are all lesser political ‘leaderthieves’ who have sold the future of their children. God help us.
Oga gov remove they have lost their sanctity
This will serve as lesson to rogues parading themselve as oba.
Let face it, this Akamo is not from Royal family. If he was he would not have even touch that Bale. Right there in the police station to have assultaed somebody shows that he has no respect for ‘LAW’. Tha bale was reported that he beat him blue black, I wonder where are the tugs he took with him to the festival.News flash he was in his birthday party he left his quests to disrupt the festival, What a shameful king. If he survive this turbulent I hope he would come down from his high horse and serve the people and including people that are not from his that area. When you should be taken your newly wed wife to honeymoon you are locked in a cell, what do you espect people to think about her? People should know that Oni lowo odi meru right from the time and it is not your first time. I quess the police are sick of your chanagan too that the call the press on you. Stay cool and behave yoursel to where you pay arms/legs to buy a king title. Good luck
