Adeleke Removes Osun Monarch
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has approved the removal of Oba Joseph Oloyede as the Apetumodu of Ipetumodu following his conviction in the United States over tax fraud and money laundering offences.
The decision was taken after reports confirmed that the monarch was found guilty by a US court.
The state government said the development was considered damaging to the integrity and image of the traditional institution.
Oba Oloyede had served as the traditional ruler of Ipetumodu before the controversy surrounding his legal troubles abroad.
His removal has stirred reactions within the community and among traditional leaders in Osun State.
Authorities are expected to begin processes leading to the selection of a new monarch for the town in line with traditional procedures and state laws.
