As reported by Vangaurd, the declaration was made during the Olubadan – In – Council meeting held at Olubadan Palace, Oke Aremo, Ibadan.
“Chief Akinade Ajani Amusa is the recognised Baale of Sasa land in Akinyele Local Area and the accredited representative of the Olubadan of Ibadanland,” Olubadan confirmed.
“Let it be noted that any individual or group of persons in Sasa land are under the authority of the Baale of Sasa land; Chief Amusa Akinade Ajani.”
“It is therefore imperative to accord him the appropriate respect and authority. Any disobedience to his directive will be met with serious sanctions as it will be considered an affront to the Olubadan stool.”
