Lagos Monarch Reportedly Dethrones 6 Chiefs Over Alleged Violation Of Palace Rules
Oba AbdulFatai Oyeyinka Aremu Aromire Oyegbemi II, the Ojora of Ijora and Iganmu Kingdom has reportedly dethroned six of his Chiefs over alleged violation of Palace rules.
The Chiefs are Lateef Ojora (Bale Alaba Oro), Saliu Biliamin (Bale Alafia Dodoro) and Taiwo Hassan (Bala Oke Ira).
Others are Idris Oladipupo Ojora (Bale Abule Kere), Hakeem Oseni (Bale Mosafejo Amukoko) and Sule Raji Balogun (Bale Abule Kere).

Emphasizing the role of the Traditional Ruler as a Father figure to all, Kabiyesi Ojora declared, “You’re not card-carrying members of any Political Party. You represent the interests of all your people, regardless of their affiliations.”
The incident stems from the unauthorised actions of the six Chiefs who attended a Labour Party event without the Oba’s consent.

He reiterated that no Chief should make decisions or act on his behalf without his explicit consent, as they all serve to represent him and uphold the traditions of the Land.
The decisive action of dethroning the six Chiefs underscores his commitment to maintaining order and coherence within his leadership structure.
During this assembly, Kabiyesi also took the opportunity to commend the present
