The Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, has denied a statement credited to him declaring support for Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, in his fight against Fulani herders terrorising the South West region of the country.
This was contained in a statement by the Personal Assistant to the monarch, Tunde Oladunjoye, and made available to News outlets.
Oladunjoye, in the statement, said: “The attention of the Aafin Awujale has been drawn to a fake news trending on the social media quoting our revered royal father, Oba Dr Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, as having issued a statement on the current situation in some states concerning Mr Sunday Igboho.
“The Aafin Awujale hereby categorically denies that Kabiyesi Alayeluwa ever issued such statement or comment on the issue.
“As you are all aware, Kabiyesi Alayeluwa is a great patriot and at all times fully in support of Yoruba’s progress, development and aspirations.
“However, it should be clarified that the statement credited to him in the meantime is a “fake news.
