The 10 chiefs sacked by the Olu of Orile Ilawo, Oba Professor Alexander MacGregor have urged Governor Dapo Abiodun, Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo and Osile of Oke-Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, to wade into the matter so as to avert bloodshed.
MacGregor had last week sacked the Oluwo of Ilawo, Chief Oluwole Dosunmu, the Balogun of Ilawo, Chief Abraham Soyoye, Jagunna of Ilawo, Fatai Sodimu and seven others, over their alleged involvement in the illegal sales of community lands, insubordination, flagrant disrespect to the royal stool and constituted authority.
But the chiefs denied the allegations, adding that MacGregor lacked the power to sack them as they were installed by the Osile of Oke Ona Egba who is the prescribing authority over Ilawo Kingdom.
Three of the chiefs including, Aro of Ilawo, Chief Olufemi Adebayo, Soyoye and Dosunmo argued that the sack would not stand and begged the government to wade in immediately.
