Akeredolu asks police to arrest Ondo monarch, Olofun of Irele

Akeredolu asks police to arrest Ondo monarch, Olofun of Irele 

Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has asked the state police commissioner, Oyediran Oyeyemi to arrest and prosecute the Olofun of Irele in Irele Local Government, Oba Ademola Idowu Oloworiyibi.

He said the monarch was an impersonator, as his administration had not approved or appointed anybody as the Olofun of Irele kingdom.

Oba Oloworiyibi was crowned last month, but some persons petitioned the state government, citing irregularities.

The call for Oba Oloworiyibi’s arrest was contained in a letter Governor Akeredolu addressed to the Ondo CP and signed by his Chief of Staff, Chief Olugbenga Ale.

In the letter released last night, the governor described the activities of Oloworiyibi as overreaching and illegal.
