A top contender to
the vacant Osolo throne, Prince Abiodun Olakunle Shekoni has been removed as
the secretary of the Ojo Orisadeko Asalu-Elemo Royal Family over alleged
failure to render account of stewardship.
In a letter dated 13th
January, 2025 addressed to Prince Shekoni, the family- owners of the vast lands
in Ajao Estate and Mafoluku communicated its decision to relieve him of his
position as family secretary.
In the letter (copy
of which was obtained by The Snoop)
the family said it was compelled to take the action following Shekoni’s
continued refusal to acknowledge or respond to letters dated 23rd
December 2024 and 30th December 2024 sent to him to give a comprehensive
report of his account of stewardship on the family’s financial accounts, court
cases and property utilization.
The family under the
leadership of the Oloworo of Oworo Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde
Saliu and Baale Mafoluku Asalu-Elemo of Ilemo Land, High Chief Adedayo Thomas
(PhD) reportedly issued a reminder on Monday 30th December, 2024
after the expiration of 7 days’ Notice. Yet, the Isolo prince did not comply
with the directive issued to him.
He was replaced by
Sadiq Ibrahim who was unanimously nominated in acting capacity as the new
family secretary.
Shekoni was directed
to hand over all family properties and documents in his custody to the new
scribe.
For full effect of
the new development, the family has therefore forwarded separate letters of
notification to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, the Area Commander,
Mushin, DPOs Ajao Estate and Mafoluku as well as the Family Lawyer, Prof.
Kasumu and the family Surveyor, Svr. Orogbangba.
Attempt to get across
to Prince Shekoni for his reaction was not successful as his official line was
said to be non-existent while calls to his other phone line was left unanswered
just as text message sent to him was not responded to as at press time.
