The Council of Authentic Ibadan Mogajis (Family Heads), has given a 7-day ultimatum to some High Chiefs in Ibadan who issued a 21-day detronment notice to the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
It warned that failure to withdraw the threat will amount to facing the wrath of Ibadan people.
Some High Chiefs and Baales promoted in a controversial manner as Kings by the Senator Abiola Ajimobi led administration in Oyo State had last Monday issued a 21-day ultimatum to the monarch to be of good conduct or risk being removed from the throne.
The High Chiefs who were members of the Olubadan-In-Council led by the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, High Chief Lekan Balogun accused the Olubadan of taking decisions on behalf of the Council, inciting the people against the state government.
But, the Mogajis (family heads) at the end of their meeting held on Thursday, urged the High Chiefs to stop parading themselves as Ibadan kings in order to avoid anarchy in the city.
Chief Olawale Oladoja who spoke on behalf of the group said that the family heads decided to speak out on the threat to the Olubadan by the new kings in order to avert disintegration of the Ibadan chieftaincy customs and tradition.
The mogajis also called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Ajimobi to stop the 21 kings from disrespecting the Olubadan, whom they described as a peace loving monarch.
