The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa 1, has set up a committee to resolve the chieftaincy controversy in Ido Town of Ibadan where three persons are laying claim to the throne.
three persons have been parading themselves as the Onido of Ido in Ido local government area. They are, Benjamin Ademola Ishola Orobiyi, Tajudeen Akinola and Muritala Babalola.
The development has been a source of concern for the residents of the town in the last few years, prompting them to call on the Olubadan to intervene, lest it resort to breakdown of law and order.
In his reaction, the Olubadan said that he has set up a panel to investigate the matter through a statement signed by his Media Aide, Adeola Oloko.
Ladoja in the statement, advised all the stakeholders concerned to cooperate with the committee, noting that the committee was set up to resolve the matter amicably.
The statement read: “Part of the panel’s mandate is to look into the remote and immediate causes of the Onido stool crisis.
“The second mandate of the panel is to make far -reaching recommendations that would guide the Olubadan and his council in resolving the 19-year old crisis once and for all”.
