The Olu of Orile Ilawo, Oba Professor Alexander Olusegun MacGregor has disowned the Oluwo of Ilawo, Chief Oluwole Dosunmu, the Balogun of Ilawo, Chief Abraham Soyoye, Jagunna of Ilawo, Fatai Sodimu. and Seven others for illegal sales of community lands, gross insubordination, flagrant disrespect to the stool and authority,
He said the so-called ‘Chiefs’ continue to use the Osile of Oke Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso as their shield , thereby going against the prescribed authority of Ilawo, who happens to be the Olu of Orile Ilawo.
He averred that the self proclaimed Chiefs never get any ratifications from him, neither do they represent Ilawo, but their selfish interests in illegal dispossession of people’s land.
Oba MacGregor alleged that the three Chiefs and other illegal Chiefs have sold not less than 1600 acres of land without having authority to do so.
He said Ilawo stool has been in existence for long before, but was only resuscitated during the government of Otunba Gbenga Daniel, hence the stool cannot be subservient to the Osile of Oke Ona Egba.
Going down memory lane, Oba Professor Macgregor said that Ilawo is known for industrious people, prosperous people.
