A section of the Abisogun ruling house of the Oniru family has rejected the announcement of Hakeem Ajasa, a chief superintendent of Police, CSP as the Oba-elect to the stool of the Oniru of Iru land.

Ajasa’s choice was reportedly announced by Chief Biliaminu Sanni in Lagos on Wednesday. The last Oba Abiodun Oniru, the Oniru of Iru land died at the age of 82 on Monday, September 23rd, 2019.

The aggrieved Abisogun ruling house reacting to the development in a statement stated that, “The public and all interested parties are put on notice of the kangaroo selection of a person unknown to the entire Oniru Family to rule over their land and fill the currently vacant Oniru Chieftaincy stool.

“The statutory, customary due process and formality were not followed in this kangaroo selection of this individual, working desperately with others, towards achieving their own selfish interest and putting the whole family (a family of honour) into disrepute.”

The cheated Abisogun ruling house further stated that, it does not accord with reasoning that only 6 to 8 men of an entire ruling house will make a decision that will affect the whole of the Oniru Royal Family and select a candidate for the vacant stool.

According to them, owing to the above, “other cheated members of the Abisogun Ruling House have decided to do the needful to preserve the good name of Oniru Royal Family by distancing themselves from this propaganda and public show of disgrace by an individual (working together with his cronies) unknown to the Family.

‘Being a policeman, we have information from reliable sources that Akeem Ajasa had harassed, intimidated and threatened other members of his ruling house. We also have information that under the table exchange of funds have taken place and the result of all these illegalities is the kangaroo selection.”

They stated that from time immemorial, no member of any royal family can impose himself on the community, adding that the Oniru family has been in existence for over 500 years living in peace and harmony.

The further said that “Akeem Ajasa (working in connivance with the Olori-Ebi of the Abisogun Ruling House, his supporters and cronies) is hereby advised against parading himself as the selected candidate for the vacant stool. Moreso, if Akeem AJasa has indeed been selected as a candidate for the vacant stool, he ought to have resigned his position as a police officer and properly put himself forward.
