Chief Kilani Ajani, the Baale of Ilua, in Saki West Local Government Area has been suspended by the Oyo State Government.
Ajani’s suspension was premised on his activities, which have allegedly caused unrest and political strife within Ilua and Gbepakan communities.
A letter addressed to the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Hon. Olusegun Olayiwola, by the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Biodun Aikomo, said Ajani was recommended for suspension based on a letter from the Oyo State Solid Minerals Development Agency
The suspension, which was approved by the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, was aimed at preventing the crisis in the two communities from festering and to allow a fair investigation into the allegations against the traditional ruler.
