“The attention of Kabiyesi Olubadan of Ibadanland has been drawn to the acts of mischief, insubordination, use of abusive language as well as threat to life of Otun Balogun of Ibadanland (High Chief Tajudeen Abimbola Ajibola) by you.

“These acts are contrary to and punishable under the Chiefs Law. Aside, sources further disclosed that you are in possession of two different letters of appointment appointing you as (i) Mogaji Kosoko Family and (ii) Mogaji Kosoko Onilabu Family, both dated 9th January, 2017 while records from this office show your appointment as Mogaji Kosoko Family and not Onilabu Family.

“Your acts, which the council viewed as forgery and misleading. In effect, therefore, the council at its meeting held on Monday, 19th December, 2022, resolved that your appointment as Mogaji Kosoko Family is hereby revoked, that the letter dated 9th January, 2017 or any letter purportedly appointing you as Mogaji Kosoko is hereby withdrawn and declared as null and void.

“That you should stop parading yourself in the community as Mogaji Kosoko Family forthwith”, the letter added just as it enjoined him to adhere strictly with the directives by the council as any violation would not be condoned.”
