Osun Kingmakers Clash Over Monarch's US Jail Term, Stool Dispute
Kingmakers in Osun State clashed over the refusal to dethrone a monarch jailed in the US. Prince Ipetumodu called for the declaration of the Apetumodu stool vacant after Oba Joseph Oloyede's conviction for loan fraud.
The meeting led by Chief Sunday Adedeji turned chaotic as the prince urged Adedeji to write to the governor, declaring the throne vacant. Adedeji rejected the demand, causing a shouting match and the meeting's collapse.
Prince Olaboye Ayoola Aribile expressed disappointment at the lack of resolution. Adedeji confirmed his stance, citing peace.
The disagreement highlights the tension surrounding the monarch's conviction and the succession process in Osun State.
