The panel then submitted its report in August last year, while the white paper on the report was published in the Oyo State Gazette No. The process led to the installation of 21 new kings in Ibadanland by the government on Sunday, August 27, 2017, at the Mapo Hall Arcade, Ibadan. Chief Ladoja as the Osi Olubadan, who rejected the beaded crown, filed two cases against the review in the High Court.
