Osun Kingmakers Oppose Plot to Dethrone Oba Joseph Oloyede, the 27th Apetumodu, recently jailed in the U.S. for COVID-19 loan fraud.

Kingmakers in Ipetumodu, Osun State, are resisting calls to dethrone Oba Joseph Oloyede, the Apetumodu, despite his conviction and sentencing for COVID-19 loan fraud in the US. The monarch’s fate remains uncertain as princes from different ruling houses are divided on succession, and the Osun State Government awaits official court documents before intervening.
