DSS Invites Awujale Ruling House Leaders Amid Controversy
The Department of State Services (DSS) summoned leaders of the ruling house for the Awujale stool selection process on October 29, 2026. The stool became vacant in July 2025 following the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona, who reigned for 65 years.
Those invited include Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi, chairman; Otunba Dokun Ajidagba, deputy chairman; and Prof. Fassy Yusuf, vice chairman. The DSS meeting aims to investigate the sale of expression of interest forms for the vacant stool.
Yusuf confirmed he could not attend due to a Supreme Court matter, while Ajidagba stated he received the invitation shortly before the meeting time and could not comply due to ongoing court proceedings. The Ogun State Police Command had previously summoned kingmakers and ruling house officials over bribery allegations related to the selection process.
Owoyemi, Ajidagba, and Yusuf have also filed legal action against the state government to compel the completion of the selection process.
