The Ogun State Government on Thursday barred Chief Femi Olatidoye and Chief Ganiu Ogunlalu from parading themselves as Baale of Adeagba community till further notice.
The two rival claimants to the stool were barred by the state government over the claims of approval of certificate of appointment issued to them by two different traditional rulers in the Egba Kingdom.
The state government said its decision was in a bid to end the lingering chieftaincy crisis rocking the Adeagba Community in Ewekoro Local Government area of the state.
The Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Muyiwa Oladipo, while presiding over a peace meeting attended by the Olowu of Owu, Oba Adegboyega Dosunmu; the Olu of Itori, Oba Abdul- Fatai Akanmo, and concerned parties in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, said the chieftaincy crisis in the town was further complicated by the claim of approval both Olatidoye and Ogunlalu said they received from the Olowu and Olu of Itori respectively.
