  "account": "Police have summoned the newly appointed Olu of Oko Baba Agba, Oba Kabir Adesegun Bashir Saliu, in Lagos over allegations of threatening someone's life and using armed men for intimidation and harassment. The summons was issued by the Nigeria Police Force, Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, on August 20, 2026. The letter, signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police P.Amina Yakubu, requested that Oba Saliu attend a meeting with an Assistant Inspector-General of Police or Assistant Commissioner of Police at the Zonal Intelligence Department headquarters in Onikan, Lagos, on August 21, 2026, at 10:00am. The police stated the invitation was a fact-finding exercise in the interest of justice and fairness, prompted by urgent law enforcement requirements under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015. The summons comes amid a dispute over the recognition and installation of Oba Kabir Saliu as the traditional ruler of Oko Baba Agba. The Oloworo of Oworonshoki Kingdom, Oba Babatunde Saliu, opposes the development and is reportedly considering legal action. The Lagos State Government had recognized Oko Baba Agba as a community bordering Oworonshoki and formally appointed Oba Kabir Saliu as its monarch at a ceremony attended by numerous dignitaries. However, the Oloworo's palace disputes the status of the community and the circumstances surrounding its recognition.",
