This is coming barely two months after the Ogun State Government presented the staff of office and instrument of appointment to the new Oba, whose coronation ceremony holds on Saturday.
The Balogun of Imasayi, Chief Timothy Akinleye, who spoke on behalf of the protesters, maintained that the installation of the new Oba was against the norms, customs and traditions of the land. His words: “What is actually happening is that we have an age long process, traditions, customs and norms before we appoint anybody as the Oba, but this processes are being eroded and all of a sudden, we heard that the government appointed somebody who is a stranger element. He has no family, no house here, nothing whatsoever here.
Reacting, the embattled monarch, Oba Kuoye debunked the claims of the protesters, saying he is a bona fide son of Imasayi and member of the Oyesoku ruling house.
