Oba (Dr) Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin , the Olubadan of Ibadanland has suspended two Mogajis with immediate effect.
The affected Mogajis are:Mogaji Kukula, Kamorudeen Kolawole of Kukula family, Oke – Ofa Baba Isale in Ibadan North East Local Government and Mogaji Samsudeen Bello of Ekerin Ajengbe family, Isale Osi in Ibadan South West Local Government of Oyo State.
The suspension order was given during the Olubadan Land Matters Committee meeting at old Olubadan Palace, Oja Oba Ibadan on Thursday.
The Olubadan,who spoke through the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, the Olubadan said the suspension order would remain until the suspended Mogajis do the needful.
He said:”Your suspension order is indefinite until you retrace your steps and do the needful.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. “
He ordered that the suspended Mogajis should henceforth stop parading themselves as Olubadan traditional title holders till their cases are revisited.
He implored law enforcement agents to apprehend any suspended traditional ruler parading themselves as authentic Chiefs contrary to the sanctions imposed by His Imperial Majesty on them.
The paramount ruler frowned at the non- challant attitude of some Mogajis and Baales that ignored the invitation of the Olubadanland Land Matters Committee, emphasising that they are doing so at their own peril as such absentee traditional title holders will henceforth loose their traditional titles as their absence will be viewed as insubordination to the constituted authority.
