Fusengbuwa Ruling House Officials Reject DSS Invitation
Two officials from the Fusengbuwa ruling house in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, have stated they will not attend a meeting with the Department of State Services (DSS) concerning allegations of selling nomination forms for the Awujale of Ijebuland throne. The officials, Chairman Abdulateef Owoyemi and Deputy Chairman Oladokun Ajidagba, along with Vice Chairman Prof Fassy Yusuf, were invited to the DSS office in Abeokuta.
The Awujale stool has been vacant since the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona in July 2025. Ajidagba received the invitation shortly before the meeting and cited ongoing court matters as the reason for not attending.
Yusuf, currently in Abuja for a Supreme Court case, also dismissed the DSS letter. This situation follows previous summons by the Ogun State Police Command regarding allegations of bribery in the selection process for a new Awujale.
The officials have filed a lawsuit against the state government to challenge the suspension of the selection process initiated in January.
