The Ile-Ife community has called on the Osun State Government to intervene in renewed tensions with Modakeke over the disputed installation of a monarch for Okuu-Omoni. The Great Ife Movement (GIM) urged the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to suspend processes related to the purported appointment of Aderoju Adewale Onisaka as Oba of Okuu-Omoni, alleging that the process did not comply with local customs and procedures.
GIM President Femi Oyeyinka expressed concern over leaflets claiming ancestral ownership of lands in the area and alleged that the purported crowning of Onisaka took place at locations outside the traditional Ife process. The community urges the state government to prioritize peace and justice in addressing the longstanding issues.
