Sarkin Sasa not a recognised title in Ibadan – Olubadan

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has declared that the title of Sarkin Sasa is not a recognised title in Ibadanland.
The traditional ruler made this disclosure via a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Chief Solomon Ayoade.
The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday.
The traditional ruler, in the statement, noted the title of Sarkin Sasa as null and void and not recognised by the Ibadan Traditional Chieftaincy Law.
The monarch explained that the decision was made during the Olubadan-in-Council meeting held at the Olubadan Palace, Oke Aremo, Ibadan, on Monday.
The traditional ruler stated: “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 Sasaland; 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.”
