RECONCILIATION AT LAST IN AKINLEYE TOWN: Chief Mujaidu Agoro, Baale Dosunmu Unite After 13 Years

 



Oloruba of Oruba Otta Awori Kingdom Brokers Peace


AKINLEYE TOWN, OGUN STATE—The 13-year conflict between the Baale of Akinleye town, Chief Dosunmu, and the Akinleye family has been resolved, following the intervention of Oba Wadudu Ajani Deinde, the Oloruba of Oruba Otta Awori kingdom.

The conflict began when Chief Dosunmu, the Baale, denied Chief Mujaidu Agoro's membership in the Akinleye family, despite his crucial role in the Baale's ascension to the throne. The Akinleye family had sold lands to raise funds for the Baale's traditional rites, facilitated by Chief Agoro.

Furthermore, Chief Agoro's grandmother hailed from, lived, and was buried in Akinleye town, with her tomb remaining a testimony to their family ties. However, the Baale attempted to deny Chief Agoro's membership, sparking tensions.

The Akinleye family accused the Baale of sidelining them in decision-making processes, ruling the town autocratically, and allowing his children, previously unknown in the community, to terrorize residents. Despite the Baale's attempts to deny Chief Agoro's membership, the Akinleye family stood firm, refusing to abandon their kin.

They provided extensive documentation and oral testimony to support Chief Agoro's position as a respected member of the family and the rightful Akogun of Akinleye town.

At a peace meeting convened by Oba Wadudu Ajani Deinde, Chief Agoro reaffirmed his family ties, citing his grandmother's roots in Akinleye town. However, when asked to explain his actions, the Baale failed to provide a coherent reason for denying Chief Agoro's membership.

Oba Wadudu Ajani Deinde then asked the Baale if he was certain Chief Agoro was not a member of the Akinleye family. In a surprising turn of events, the Baale changed his tone, acknowledging Chief Agoro's membership and apologizing.



The Baale pledged to involve the Akinleye family in decision-making, promote peaceful coexistence, and address concerns about his children's behavior.

Oba Wadudu Ajani Deinde commended both parties for their willingness to resolve their differences peacefully. "This reconciliation marks a new era for Akinleye town," he said. "Let us strive for unity and development."

To ensure a lasting resolution, Oba Wadudu Ajani Deinde directed both parties to hold a meeting of resolution to discuss terms of working together as one big family. He instructed them to report back to him with the outcome of their discussions.

Chief Agoro welcomed the Baale's reversal, stating, "We're committed to working together for Akinleye town's progress."

With the conflict now resolved, Akinleye town can look forward to a brighter future, filled with meaningful development and growth.

Alake of Ake, Solicitor General Accused of Sponsorship; Governor Abiodun Urged to Intervene In a bold move, the Olota of Otta, Oba (Prof) Adeyemi Obalanlege, successfully visited Kajola Iboro on Saturday, October 19, 2024, despite reported attempts to obstruct his visit. The town falls under his jurisdiction within the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government. Sources close to the palace allege that hoodlums, sponsored by the Alake of Ake, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, and his allies, including Ogun State Solicitor General, Mr. Olusegun Olaotan, were behind the obstruction efforts. The Alake of Ake had previously attempted to install a Baale in Kajola Iboro, sparking tensions and controversy within the community. However, the Olota emphasized that the Alake's authority is confined to the Ake section of Abeokuta South Local Government, making any leadership imposition in Kajola Iboro illegitimate. In response to these developments, the Olota has called on Governor Dapo Abiodun to intervene and address
