Ministry Of Local Government And Chieftaincy Affairs And Ijebu Ode Local Government Debunk False Report On Alleged Suspension Of Ijebu Traditional Chiefs

Image
The Ogun State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, in conjunction with the Ijebu Ode Local Government, has dismissed as false and misleading a report circulating on social media alleging the suspension of the Kakanfo of Ijebu land, Chief Abimbola Okenla, the Lapoekun of Ijebu land, Chief Tunde Odulaja, and the Madasa of Ijebu land, Chief Lekan Oshifeso, from the Council of Chiefs. The two authorities categorically state that no such suspension has been effected or approved by any recognized traditional institution or by the Ogun State Government, describing the report as the handiwork of mischief makers bent on causing confusion and disharmony within Ijebu land. Chieftaincy matters are governed by established laws, customs, and due process, none of which has been initiated in respect of the named chiefs. The public is therefore urged to disregard the report and rely solely on official government channels for accurate information. Signed: Hon. Dare Alebiosu Chairman, I...

Owode Onirin: It's Wrong For To Demolish Structures Without Court Permission – Falana

Image
A Lagos-based human rights lawyer and activist, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, has said that the government has no constitutional right to demolish structures without a court order.   Falana spoke on Thursday after an Ikeja High Court, presided over by Justice Savage, adjourned a matter involving Owode Onirin Motor Spare Parts Sellers and the Lagos State Government to February 26, 2026.   Addressing journalists, Falana said the right to own property is guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, adding that the spare parts sellers were not parties to the original suit in which judgment was delivered.   According to him, although the traders were not listed as parties in the judgment, their names were later added during its execution.    He said that his clients had approached the court to set aside the judgment, noting that the respondents had filed a counter-affidavit and requested an adjournment to respond to his application.   “My a...

Awujale Selection; Governor Abiodun Responds To Misleading Reports

Image
Ogun State Governor, His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, has clarified circulating reports suggesting a confrontation between him and the Council of Afobajes regarding the Awujale selection. According to official sources, these claims are completely false and misleading. The Governor held a respectful consultative meeting with the Council of Afobajes, consistent with meetings he held in the past with the Olori Ebis that were hitherto polarized which fostered their harmonization and, through such earlier engagements, he also persuaded one of the kingmakers to withdraw a filed litigation.  The discussions he had focused on matters of mutual concern in the interest of the progress in traditional affairs within Ijebuland. Contrary to the rumors, Governor Abiodun did not issue threats, ultimatums. Statements attributed to him, including “No Kuye, No Awujale”, are entirely fabricated and bear no relation to the Governor or his administration. No Afobaje will attest to such an occurr...
