Kingmakers set to depose Akure monarch


In the past days, news circulated about the Deji of Akure who publicly had a street fight with one of his wives. I have read lots of criticisms regarding the Deji of Akure and Kings have to understand they are not above the law too.

Palpable tension enveloped Akure, the Ondo State capital on Friday, as traditional kingmakers confirmed that they had begun the process that would lead to the dethronement of the Deji, Oba Oluwadare Adeshina, who allegedly engaged in a street fight with his estranged wife, Queen Bolanle, last Sunday.

No fewer than 10 police patrol vehicles were sighted moving around major streets in the town while about four others were stationed around the Deji‘s palace to forestall possible breakdown of law and order.
