Olufemi Atoyebi, IbadanThe Ibadan Mogajis (family heads), under the aegis of the Council of Authentic Ibadan Mogajis, have issued a seven-day ultimatum to the 21 kings installed by the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi to withdraw their threat to dethrone the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, or face the wrath of the Ibadan people. At the end of a meeting held by the Mogajis on Thursday, eight of the 21 kings, who are high chiefs in Ibadan, were urged to stop parading themselves as Ibadan kings to prevent anarchy in the city. The Mogajis also called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Ajimobi to stop the 21 kings from disrespecting the Olubadan, whom they described as a peace-loving monarch. Among those who were at the meeting were Mogaji Oloko compound, Chief Abass Oloko; Mogaji Adanla compound, Chief Abduljelili Karheem; Mogaji Akere compound, Chief Moshud Gbolagade; Mogaji Omilabu compound, Chief Waheed Kosoko; Mogaji Olasomi compound, Chief Ademola Oladosu; and Mogaji Akinsola compound, Chief Wale Oladoja. They warned that if the high chiefs continued to disrespect the Olubadan, they would also be subjected to public ridicule.
