Orile-Owu Crisis: Monarch Commends Gov Adeleke
Sequel to the communal clash that broke out recently between Orile-owu and Araromi-Owu in Isokan Local Government Area of Osun State, the Olowu of Orile-Owu, Oba Dauda Adebimpe Akinfalabi, Arole Ajibosin, Lagbedu 111 has commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for his efforts at ensuring that peace reigns in the area.
As a result, Oba Akinfalabi has equally appealed to the governor to ensure that no stone was left unturned in ensuring that those behind the crisis were brought to book.
While speaking with newsmen in his palace, the monarch who shed more light on the cause of the crisis, alleged that some people forged his letterhead and signature and used the forged document to write the government that Olu of Araromi had been recognized as a Second Class monarch and presented same to the government for approval.
He further explained that the forged letter misled the government to make announcement on January 24, 2024, that the Olu of Araromi had been elevated before the government later reversed it having discovered that the document was forged.
Oba Akinfalabi added that Alhaji Sikirulahi Oyeyemi, who was selected in line with 2005 Chieftaincy Declaration, was in seclusion on July 19, 2024, when some people from Ibadan who were mobilized by the tenants of Orile-owu, stormed the town for installation of another person.
Meanwhile, the newly installed traditional ruler of Araromi-Owu,Oba Oyeyemi, in a petition written by his Lawyer, Bola Adebowale, urged the Commissioner of Police to ensure that those who engineered the crisis that led to the mayhem, unlawful attempt to install another Oba and conduct capable of breaching the peace of the area, were made to face the wrath of the law.
According to the petition, a prominent person in the community who wanted to install himself as monarch and had earlier approached the state High Court for declarative and injunctive orders, led some thugs to cause chaos while the case he instituted, was still in the court.
