Six Lagos traditional chiefs have been dethroned for attending the campaign flag-off of the Labour Party (LP) in the state.
The chiefs had attended the campaign flag-off of the Labour Party in Apapa – ahead of the Lagos State local government polls.
The Ojora of Ijora and Iganmu Kingdom, Oba AbdulFatai Oyegbemi, on Monday decided the dethrone six chiefs because they attended the event without his consent and allegedly impersonated him.
Oba Oyegbemi called a palace meeting, in which he made it clear that they went to the event without his consent and also accused them of violating palace protocols by impersonating him at the event.
Those affected are Chief Taiwo Hassan (Bale Oke Ira), Chief Saliu Biliamin (Bale Alafia Dodoro), and Chief Lateef Ojora (Bale Alaba Oro).
Others are Chief Idris Ojora (Bale Abule Kere), Chief Sule Balogun (Balogun of Abule Kere), and Chief Hakeem Oseni (Bale Mosafejo Amukoko).
In a statement released by the place, Oba Oyegbemi explained that he dethroned the six chiefs in a bid to maintain “order and coherence within his leadership structure”.
