Akeredolu asks CP to arrest Ondo ‘monarch’

Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has asked 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.

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.

Akeredolu said it was capable of causing disaffection among the peace-loving people of the ancient town, adding that the consequences could be better imagined.
