…Waiting game
… Continued from last week
CITIZENS COMPASS— …know themselves.
In 2013, Owoyemi and Ajidagba told the then General Secretary, Prince Adeleke Adeyemi-Olufadi now Olori-Ebi, that Fusengbuwa comprises eight groups namely Usenbanke/Odoejogun, Olufadi, Adeberu, Osinuga, Tunwase/Ayora, Adekenu, Okuyandero and Sewonwo or Senowo.
On that basis, Suit HCJ/18/2014 was filed with five claimants including Owoyemi as 1st Claimant and Adeyemi-Olufadi as 5th.
Owoyemi tendered a membership card with the name Nomuade Jadiara. He claimed that as his unit. There is no Nomuade Jadiara in File C17/5/2. There is no Nomuade at all in Ijebu genealogy.
Recall that Jadiara was Fusengbuwa’s father which means that he cannot be a unit inside his son’s house.
According to the Judgment of March 8, 2018, Justice A.O. Asenuga, page 31: Apart from the 1st Claimant whose paternal grandfather was said to have migrated to Ijebu-Ode from Ikoro Ekiti and partly from Odi line which he did not deny..
In Exhibit F6 filed 17th September 2026, he now claims his connection is the true Usenbanke/Odoejogun whereas Odo Ejogun is not a person but a village of Idowa.
In HCJ/18/2014, the 2nd Claimant, in a bid to invent royal background in HCJ/149/2026 was said to have changed his name to Adedokun, but admitted in the previous suit traced his descended to Adeberu, a supposed sibling of Fusengbuwa.
As residents await who becomes the next Awujale, the waiting game continues though it is shocking as to why and how it took the Fusengbuwa Ruling House over a year to determine whose descent is traced to Jadiara, Bubiade, Adeberu and any other group outside the 12 lawful children of Fusengbuwa are not members and have no business sitting with them, much more aspiring for Olori-Ebi or candidates therefrom.
As the game continues, three Olori-Ebis (family heads) are laying claims to the Fusengbuwas with one of them said to have the backing of the State government.
In a chat with Citizens Compass, residents urged the Ruling house to tread softly and follow the Biblical instruction which says, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set,”(Prov.22.28).
