Must Read: Saheed Osupa In Trouble For Claiming ‘Agba Akin Of Omole’ (Details here)

Alhaji Nosiru Bakare, Baale of Omole and the current holder of the Agba Akin title, Bash Ali, after his installation
                                        

His words: “To put the records straight, you were given the Agba Akin title in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State. The jurisdiction of Ifo Local Government does not extend to Omole in Ikeja. You have no power to arrogate to yourself the title of Agba Akin of Omole Land.
“You cannot claim a chieftaincy title in Lagos State without the knowledge of the Omole Community.

PMNews gathered that Saheed Osupa has been issued with a seven days ultimatum to tender a letter of apology to the Omole community for claiming to be the Agba Akin of Omoleland – a honorary title presently held by the former World Cruiserweight champion of the world, Bash Ali.


  Speaking on the matter, the Baale of Omole, Alhaji Nosiru Bakare, disclosed that he was unaware of Osupa’s installation as Agba Akin of Omoleland in Lagos.
He said the Agba Akin of Omole inscribed on the compact disc of Osupa was illegal “because I did not install him.
The Baale further threatened to drag Osupa to court if he did not apologise to the Omole community within seven days.



  Your action is embarrassing to the people of Omole and we are by this giving you seven days notice to issue a letter of apology to the community or face legal action.
“Your apology should be forwarded to the Omole community through our Secretary and published in three national dailies.
”We have a process of conferring titles on individuals in Omoleland. It is based on merit and not pecuniary considerations.
”We honoured the Late Professor Fathiu Akesode, Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University Ojo, with the Seriki of Omoleland while his wife wasconferred with Otun Iyalode of Omole Land, Professor Idowu Sobowale, former Ccommissioner of Education, Lagos State, was also honoured while Are Oladapo Atinsola was made the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Omoleland.
”These are just a few of the people we have honoured. We don’t sell our traditional titles. You must have contributed to the development of Omole Land and Nigeria, as a whole before we can recognize you.
”Chief Saheed Osupa should inscribe on his cap Agba Akin of Ojodu Abiodun Land, Ifo Local Government, Ogun State and correct such in all his CDs, videos, posters within seven days of this publication before we take legal action.”
