Adeleke Orders Probe into Koka Town Kingship Dispute
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has ordered an investigation into the disputed kingship of Koka town in Obokun Local Government. This directive was communicated through a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, in Osogbo.
Concurrently, Adeleke has begun a vacation in Europe, which includes medical appointments and will involve time spent in the United Kingdom and other undisclosed locations. In his statement, Adeleke expressed the need for a break to refresh and prepare for his duties to the people of Osun State.
He instructed the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to probe the circumstances surrounding the reported appointment of another king for Koka Ilase, which has led to claims of dual kingship in the town. The ministry is tasked with reviewing the situation and ensuring adherence to chieftaincy laws and traditions.
Adeleke urged stakeholders to maintain peace during this process.
