Newly installed Olujare of Ijare in Ifedore local government area, Oba Adekolajo Aladeseyi, Okilorigbokun II, has been arrested for installing himself as Oba without authorisation.

Oba Aladeseyi was arrested with four Chiefs on Wednesday evening on the orders of the Ondo State Government.

The embattled monarch was installed on April 17th, 2025 and was to commence 30-day traditional rite before he was arrested.

Ijare community has been without a king since 2011 when the former king, Oba Adebamigbe Oluwagbemigun, died.

All efforts to install a new king have failed due to feud among the ruling houses and court processes.

However, the Aarinmo of Ijare and head of Sejeokun Ruling House of Ijare, Chief Oluwole Oni, in a petition to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, said Ijare kingmakers and Chiefs were forced at gunpoint at about 2:30am to perform the installation.

He said the community would be thrown into crisis if the installation were allowed to stand.

Ondo Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi, who confirmed the arrest, said the installation of Aladeseyi was illegal and fraudulent.

“There was impending crisis in the community. Some kingmakers were compelled to go to the installation. Such a thing should not be allowed. Such could lead to communal clash. It can lead to total breakdown of law and order. This should serve as a warning to others who will wake up and take laws into their hands. We will make sure the extant laws are obeyed.”

He said the arrested monarch would be arraigned today (Thursday).

What about corrupt politicians who rigged themselves in government.
The arrest should be balance.

Nigeria is CURSED. While other nations are making strides they are consumed with mushroom "kings" who only take and contribute basically nothing

This is happening right here in my own town. Enough is enough. It’s time we call upon the spirit of our ancestors to confront those who are obsessed with violence and oppression. We cannot continue to watch injustice thrive in silence.

Why couldn't the kingmakers decide and communicate their choice to ODSG for approval all these years?

The man should have known that his throne hijack venture will not stand. I pray for a quick resolution for the sake of the people.
