Ijebuland Ruling House Leaders Sue for N1 Billion Over Allegations
The leaders of the ruling house of Ijebuland, represented by Pa Olusegun Olusoga, Ridwan Oduneye, Muyiwa Adeleye, Alhaji Taiwo Ajumo, Sikiru Adegunwa Oluwole, Hon. Kehinde Lawal, Lukman Logunleko Oludare, Prince Abdul Onalaja, Ashiru Mufutau, Prince (Barr.) Osiyemi Johnson, Prince Adeleke Adeyemi, and Otunba Olukayode Otufale, have filed a N1 billion lawsuit against twelve defendants. The claimants are contesting allegations of financial inducement and manipulation in the selection process for the new Awujale of Ijebuland.
They are seeking damages and a perpetual injunction to prevent the defendants from claiming leadership of the royal house. The lawsuit, marked HCJ/167/2026 and dated September 16, 2026, follows a resolution from a meeting on November 7, 2025, which merged three units of the ruling house into one.
The claimants allege that a breakaway faction formed an illegal committee to investigate unfounded allegations against them and announced their purported removal from leadership at an unratified meeting on August 9, 2026.
