The development followed a palace meeting held on Monday, June 30, 2025, where Oba Oyegbemi declared the Chiefs' actions as unacceptable.

The Ojora of Ijora and Iganmu Kingdom, Oba AbdulFatai Aromire Oyegbemi, has taken action against six of his Chiefs, dethroning them for violating palace protocol and impersonating the monarch at a political event.

Those removed from their traditional positions are; Chief Lateef Ojora (Bale Alaba Oro), Chief Saliu Biliamin (Bale Alafia Dodoro), Chief Taiwo Hassan (Bale Oke Ira), Chief Idris Oladipupo Ojora (Bale Abule Kere), Chief Hakeem Oseni (Bale Mosafejo Amukoko), and Chief Sule Raji Balogun (Balogun of Abule Kere).

The development followed a palace meeting held on Monday, June 30, 2025, where Oba Oyegbemi declared the Chiefs' actions as unacceptable.

The six were accused of attending a Labour Party campaign flag-off event in Apapa without royal approval—an act considered as impersonating the traditional ruler.

In a statement released on Monday, "Following the outcome of this event, which unfolded without his prior knowledge, Kabiyesi Ojora summoned the Bales, Balogun, and the Ojora Councils to his ancient Palace for clarification.

"In a tone marked by disappointment and authority, Kabiyesi stated that the Chiefs' actions were in violation of their duties.

"He reiterated that no Chief should make decisions or act on his behalf without his explicit consent, as they all serve to represent him and uphold the traditions of the land.

"The decisive action of dethroning the six Chiefs underscores his commitment to maintaining order and coherence within his leadership structure.

"During this assembly, Kabiyesi also took the opportunity to commend the present Government ongoing development initiatives in Ojora Land, expressing his commitment to continue supporting the Administration as it fosters growth and progress for the Kingdom.

"This event has reaffirmed the significance of transparency and collaboration between the traditional authorities and their representation in political matters, reminding all Chiefs of their responsibilities while serving under the esteemed Ojora Kingdom," the statement said.

Na WA ooo, it's only in Nigeria and precisely Yoruba land that's these kind of rubbish can happen. It's no longer lagos monarch but APC political monarch instead. Politics of bitterness and wickedness introduce by Bola Ahmed Tinubu of APC........

Yorubas and their pettiness. Just imagine oooo. Why does this people like impunity so much?

The king of Iganmu and ijora has done a good job. The chiefs are suppose to be neutral in politics, but since they have chosen not to be neutral, they should never be allowed back to their position, so they will fully face politics.

Yoruba internal affair is none of your business. Face your states in the south east.

Don't Allow Them Gaslight You By Calling Igbos Tribalistic or Any Other Tribe. No Part of Nigeria Today is As Tribalistic And as Bigoted As the South west. Not Even the North.

The chiefs Should Sue Him to Court. There's Freedom of Expression in This Country.

And you say government aren't aware of the demolition of Peter obi's brother's property at Ikeja? Some people are waiting for another war to break out so they could lay claims to properties they didn't work for, but that never gonna happen in next 1 billion years.

you are right bro, just like the Oba of Lagos threatening some people if they don't vote for Apc they will be thrown into the lagoon. I have told you guys to be deceiving yourselves in ur Ronu WhatsApp group not on nairaland where there're people with brains.

So there is no more freedom of association in Lagos state?

Obidients would of course not read clearly but start a character assassination plot against someone showing how principled and disciplined he is.

The Chiefs impersonated the Ojora at a political party event, certainly that must not stand.

They must not attempt to impersonate the Ọba at any event, talk less of at a political rally when they know the Ọba hs subjects that cuts across the political divide in his kingdom.

No Wonder Ex Gov Akeredolu's Widow Refer to Them As Baby Monarch

This is an indisputable fact that is glaringly obvious to everyone.

That tribalism really showed in the pattern of voting in the last election where a Yoruba candidate won 4 out of 6 Yoruba states with an average of around 60% votes, while the igbo candidate won all 5 igbo states with around 80% plus votes. Igbos are really not tribalistic.
