The Awujale Palace has disowned Ladipo Olusanya Adeokun for parading himself as Otunba Oluboyede of Ijebu Ode”, a high chieftaincy title in Ijebuland, stressing that he is not related to any ruling house in the town.

In a statement signed by Chief Bimbo Okenla, The Kakanfo Awujale of Ijebuland made available to ogundaily.com/ , he said that Adeokun was falsely parading himself with the title which does not exists

His words "The attention of Aafin Awujale of Ijebuland has been drawn to the impersonation and dubious claim of one Mr. Ladipo Olusanya Adeokun, falsely parading himself as the “Otunba Oluboyede of Ijebu Ode” from a so-called “Ogu’ja Olu-Isa Royal dynasty” of Ijebu Ode, which is not in existence. The said Mr. Adeokun Is not related to any ruling house and neither has a royal blood in him”.

We wish to alert the general public that such title fake and non-existent and has not been approved or conferred on anyone or family by Alayeluwa Oba S.K. Adeetona CFR, JP, Ogbagba II, the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland. We challenge the said Mr. Adeokun to name who installed him with his fictitious title and when.

While the general public is warned not to recognise, accord any respect or transact any business with the said Mr.Ladipo Olusanya Adeokun, the impostor himself is advised to desist from the false claim in his own interest, as the full weight of the law will be brought on him should he continue with the shameful impersonation which is against the extant Chietaincy Laws of Ogun State, he said.
