Oyo town is heating up at the moment.
From the look of things, there is an ongoing rift between the Alaafin and Basorun of Oyo State.
What could have formed the basis of this rivalry remains unknown.
The Oluwo Alaafin of Oyo, Ikusaanu Ifaleye yanda, has filed a petition against the Basorun of Oyo, High Chief Akinade Ayoola, over alleged criminal conspiracy, threats to life, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace in Oyo town, Oyo State.
Also, the petition, signed by the lawyer for Oluwo, M.R. Idowu, was addressed to Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Adebola Hamzat.
Oyo Facing Threats?
“We act as solicitors to Chief Ikusaanu Ifaleye Iyanda (Oluwo Alaafin of Oyo) (hereinafter referred to as our client) and pursuant to whose instructions we write this petition.”
In addition, Mr. Idowu made it known that, on the instructions of his client on April 8, 2024, Chief Yussuf Akinade Ayoola (Bashorun of Oyo Town) invited the Oluwo Isheke of Oyo Town in person to his home.
“He subsequently told Chief Ifaniyi Omoyeni Ayinla to go and warn our client that failure to support his choice to ascend the throne of Alaafin would subject our client to facing his wrath as the Prime Minister of Oyo Kingdom.
“Furthermore, Chief Yusuf Akinade Ayoola (Bashorun of Oyo Town) boasted openly that he would harm various unknown individuals with various kinds of dangerous weapons to maliciously and intentionally attack our client if our client failed to succumb to his threatening demands and command.

“He boasted in strong words that he would get rid of our client and also terminate our client’s chieftaincy title,” the document read.
