Sarkin Sasa not recognised by Ibadan tradition — Olubadan
By Adejayan Gbenga
The Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty Oba (Dr) Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin (Ige Olakulehin I), has declared the title of Sarkin Sasa null and void, stating that it is not recognized under the Ibadan Traditional Chieftaincy Law.
The declaration was made during the Olubadan-in-Council meeting held at the Olubadan Palace, Oke Aremo, Ibadan, on Monday.
“Chief Akinade Ajani Amusa is the recognized Baale of Sasa land in Akinyele Local Government Area and the accredited representative of the Olubadan of Ibadanland,” the Olubadan confirmed.
“Let it be noted that any individual or group of persons in Sasa land is under the authority of the Baale of Sasa land, Chief Amusa Akinade Ajani. It is therefore imperative to accord him the appropriate respect and authority.
“Any disobedience to his directives will be met with serious sanctions, as it will be considered an affront to the Olubadan stool,” the Olubadan added.
