The Ojora of Ijora and Iganmu Kingdom, Oba AbdulFatai Aromire Oyegbemi, has dethroned six chiefs for violating palace protocol and impersonating him at a political event.

Their removal was disclosed in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday.

The removed chiefs are: Those removed from their traditional positions are; Chief Lateef Ojora (Bale Alaba Oro), Chief Saliu Biliamin (Bale Alafia Dodoro), Chief Taiwo Hassan (Bale Oke Ira), Chief Idris Oladipupo Ojora (Bale Abule Kere), Chief Hakeem Oseni (Bale Mosafejo Amukoko), and Chief Sule Raji Balogun (Balogun of Abule Kere).

The decision followed a palace meeting where Oba Oyegbemi declared the chiefs’ actions unacceptable.

The chiefs attended a Labour Party campaign event without royal approval, impersonating the monarch.

In a statement issued on Monday said: “Following the outcome of this event, which unfolded without his prior knowledge, Kabiyesi Ojora summoned the Bales, Balogun, and the Ojora Councils to his ancient Palace for clarification.

“In a tone marked by disappointment and authority, Kabiyesi stated that the Chiefs’ actions were in violation of their duties.

“He reiterated that no Chief should make decisions or act on his behalf without his explicit consent, as they all serve to represent him and uphold the traditions of the land.

“The decisive action of dethroning the six Chiefs underscores his commitment to maintaining order and coherence within his leadership structure.

“During this assembly, Kabiyesi also took the opportunity to commend the present Government ongoing development initiatives in Ojora Land, expressing his commitment to continue supporting the Administration as it fosters growth and progress for the Kingdom.
