Protesters Storm Streets Of Ikirun Demanding Installation Of Akadri As Akinrun

Another crisis has rocked Ikirun as members and supporters of the Obaara ruling house on Friday came out en masse to demand the immediate crowning of Prince Lekan Akadiri as the Akinrun of Ikirun.

It was gathered that the protests were triggered by the allegation that some town leaders were acting against the will of the people by planning to impose another candidate against their choice of Akadri.

Akadri had been the popular choice of Ikirun Kingmakers who rightfully elected him as Akinrun-elect and also the choice of the oracle.

While maintaining that the choice of Akadri as Akinrun-elect was fair and valid, the protesters, Owolabi Tijani on behalf of the protesters added that it was the best for the town’s people and imposition of another candidate will not be acceptable.

Tijani also said the protest was against the decision of Osun State High Court, Ikirun Division which granted an order of interim injunction disqualifying the candidates of Obaara and Adedeji ruling houses from contesting for the vacant Akinrun stool.
