Oluyin of Iyin-Ekiti Reportedly Questioned Over Request for Governor’s Church Chair
The Department of State Services is reportedly questioning the Oluyin of Iyin-Ekiti, Oba Adeniyi Adeola Ajakaiye, over a request for the chair used by Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji during a thanksgiving service at Babamuboni Memorial Anglican Church in Iyin-Ekiti. A letter said to be from the Oluyin-in-Council requested that the chair be conveyed to the palace for “royal custody and appropriate traditional rites.” The church reportedly declined, saying the property was subject to church governance and could not be released outside established procedures. Residents have expressed concern over the request and alleged that the church vicar was later transferred after resisting it. The reported DSS invitation and the claims surrounding the incident have not been independently confirmed in the material provided.
