By James Ogunnaike, Abeokuta The Department of State Services (DSS) in Ogun State has reportedly invited three leaders of the Fusengbuwa ruling house over the alleged sale of expression-of-interest forms to princes seeking to become the next Awujale of Ijebuland.
Those reportedly invited are the Chairman of the ruling house, Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi; the deputy chairman, Otunba Dokun Ajidagba; and the vice chairman, Prof.
The invitation comes amid an ongoing dispute over the selection of a new Awujale following the death of the previous monarch, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in July 2025, at the age of 91, after 65 years on the throne. A letter circulating online, purportedly signed by one Yemi Oloto, directed the three ruling house leaders to appear before the State Director of Security at the DSS office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 4 p.m. The letter, which indicated that the meeting was connected with an investigation into the sale of expression-of-interest forms to princes interested in the vacant stool, read in part: “I am directed to invite you for a meeting with the State Director of Security (SDS), Department of State Services (DSS), Ogun State, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, today, 29th October, 2026, 1600 hours (4 p.m.). “The meeting is in furtherance of investigating activities in respect of the sale of expression-of-interest forms to interested princes for the vacant stool of Awujale of Ijebuland.” The letter further stated that an officer had been designated at the main gate to facilitate the invitees’ entry into the premises, before concluding with the director’s best wishes.
