Governor Rotimi Akeredolu
Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has ordered immediate arrest and prosecution of Ademola Idowu Oloworiyibi for parading himself as the Olofun of Irele in Irele Local Government Area.
The governor, in a letter issued by his Chief of Staff, Chief Olugbenga Ale, to the state Commissioner of Police, maintained that no one has been approved or appointed as the Olofun of Irele kingdom by the state government.
Describing Oloworiyibi’s conducts as unlawful and overbroad, the governor warned that his actions could alienate the peaceful residents of the town.
He said: “The position of the State Government is that no person has been approved or appointed as the Olofun of Irele kingdom, hence the activities of Mr. Ademola Idowu Oloworiyibi are not only overreaching but illegal and capable of causing disaffection amongst the peace-loving people of the ancient town which consequences can be better imagined.
“It is in the light of the foregoing, amongst others, that the Ondo State Government is ordering the arrest and prosecution of Mr. Ademola Idowu Oloworiyibi.”
