Ijebu chiefs associated with the Awujale succession dispute file lawsuits challenging how Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun reconstitutes the Awujale Interregnum Administrative Council. The cases focus on whether the reconstituted body is valid and whether it unlawfully affects the traditional administrative structure in Ijebuland.
Across the reports, the parties and targets include Ogun State’s governor and members of the reconstituted interregnum council. The Punch frames the action as a suit by Ijebu chiefs, while Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria describe it as brought by the Adele Awujale-in-Council, with Vanguard emphasizing the claim that the reconstitution attempts to displace the traditional arrangement. Daily Post Nigeria also presents the dispute as “deepening,” treating the court filing as a further escalation.
One outlet additionally notes the location and reference mark for the suit, indicating it is filed in the High Court of Ogun State sitting in Ijebu-Ode.
