Twelve members of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House are being sued by Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi, his deputy Otunba Dokun Ajidagba, and Prof. Fassy Yusuf for their alleged removal from office. The claimants are seeking a billion naira in damages and an injunction preventing the defendants from claiming to be leaders of the royal house.
The dispute arose after a meeting of the ruling house on November 7, 2025, where the three separate units, headed by Owoyemi, Ajidagba and Yusuf, were merged under their leadership. The claimants deny that a breakaway unit formed an illegal fact-finding committee to investigate allegations against the leaders on June 7 and August 9.
They also reject a letter dated August 11, 2026, allegedly notifying the state government and others of the purported removal of the ruling house leaders.
