King Kosoko Royal Family, Oloja of Lagos Chieftaincy Family  has debunked reports being circulated in some online platforms that the Lagos State government is making moves at resolving the crisis surrounding the  selection of occupier of Oloja of Lagos stool.

According to the family in a statement signed by the royal family Secretary, Sikiru Kosoko, and the head of the family, Alhaja Mutiat Ashabi Ali-Balogun, there is no crisis in the selection process.

The family emphasized that, there is no crisis in the family on who occupies the vacant stool and as such, the state government has no crisis to resolve.

According to the family, the purported publication  was full of  falsehood and misinformation, adding  that, contrary to the misinformation in the report, the family, through the Olori Ebi of the entire family and those of the various branches, has elected an Omo Oye, (Oloja of Lagos elect), has been chosen and ratified in the person of Prince Abiola Olojo Kosoko.

The statement, further added that the Oloja of Lagos Chieftaincy Declaration of 1983 upon which Prince Abiola Olojo-Kosoko was selected and ratified, is the authentic law guiding the selection of who occupies the Oloja of Lagos stool, and as it is at the moment the only recognized law.

The statement reads, “the attention of the king Kosoko Royal Family of Lagos/ Oloja of Lagos Chieftaincy Family has been drawn to a publication purportedly coming from the family which is not true.’’
