An Osun-based monarch, Olukosi of Ilukosi-Ijesa, Oba Omotoyosi Bayo M.Akinleye has kicked against an Igbo man parading himself as Obi of Lagos.
The Osun monarch had shared an invitation printout announcing the unveiling of the prototype of the Obi of Lagos palace and the celebration of his first Ofala Festival in the Amuwo Odofin area of the state.
The invitation listed Engr Chibuke Azubuike as the Obi of Lagos state.
Frowning at the designation accorded to Engr Azubuike on the invite, the monarch said he will be filing a petition against him and that he will also bring it up at the next Traditional Rulers Council meeting.
‘’I have directed my team to file a petition against one Chibuke Azubike parading himself as Obi of Lagos, and will bring this up at our Traditional Rulers Council meeting coming up this Friday.
This act of provocation against our people will not go unanswered” he wrote.
When contacted by newsmen, Azubuike said contrary to claims, he is the Obi of Ndigbo in Lagos state and not the Obi of Lagos.
