The Osun State Government has deposed the Apetumodu of Ipetumodu in Ife North local government area of the state, Oba Gbenga Joseph Oloyede, with immediate effect.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that Oba Oloyede was sentenced to jail in the United States for COVID-19 fraud and is currently serving a jail term in the country.

In a statement made available by the commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, the state government said Oloyede was deposed following due consultation, legal review, and approval by the State Executive Council.

The statement read in part, “This decision was taken in accordance with the Osun State Chiefs Law (as amended) and other relevant legal provisions guiding traditional institutions in the state.”

The statement added that the staff of office and instruments of authority earlier issued to the monarch have been withdrawn and the stool of Apetumodu of Ipetumodu declared vacant.

“The government will, in due course, communicate the appropriate steps regarding succession in line with customary and legal frameworks,” it stated.

While security agencies have been directed to ensure maintenance of peace and order in the affected community, the government called on all residents of Ipetumodu, kingmakers, ruling houses, and stakeholders to remain calm, law-abiding, and peaceful.

Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.

Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.

His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.

The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993

It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.

Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.

He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.

“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
