This intervention was a fallout of a petition written by Elepe of Epe, Oba Ayodeji Adesoye against three princes, whom he accused of stoking violence and unrest in the community and preventing him from accessing farmlands designated as ‘Oko Oba’ that traditionally belonged to him. The defendants: Busayo Atoye, Kole Atoye, and Pastor Amos Agbeleoba, however, denied the allegations, saying the farm under dispute belonged to their family and not the royal father.
Speaking to the petition, Oba Adesoye, revealed that the land under dispute was allocated to him by the princes in accordance with the extant tradition after enthronement, saying the defendants’ family cannot lay claim to the ownership of the land.
