The Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebuland files a lawsuit against Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Awujale kingmakers, saying the selection process for the next Awujale is delayed. The ruling house asks the parties involved to complete the succession steps for the vacant stool.
The vacancy follows the death of the late Awujale, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, on Sunday, July 13, 2025. In court filings reported by outlets, the ruling house seeks an order to compel Ogun State to continue and conclude the selection process. Other reporting also describes the case as a suit seeking action against both the state and the kingmakers, framing the delay as a procedural issue requiring judicial intervention.
Overall, the outlets agree on the parties involved and the central request: to force completion of the Awujale succession process amid claims of stalled implementation. They differ mainly in emphasis, with one outlet highlighting the sue-and-compel approach, while another focuses on the broader challenge to the delayed process.
