Ekiti State Government has issued an order ordering Olomuo of Omuo Ekiti, Oba Noah Omonigbehin to stop the new Alahan he installed from parading himself as a chief.

The Deputy Governor, Mrs Monisade Afuye ordered the Olomuo to stay action and maintain status quo pending the time reconcillation committee’s white paper will be released.

Afuye said that the title of Alahon shouldn’t have been replicated by Olomuo, since government had granted Ahan -Ekiti autonomy and has now become an autonomous community.

She said the government’s position was sequel to a petition written by the Alahan of Ahan- Ayegunle, Oba Mathew Jegede, raising serious disapproval to Olomuo’s intention to install another Alahon in Omuo-Ekiti.

The Deputy Governor also expressed displeasure at the way the Olomuo had installed another Alahan on October 29, 2022, in contravention of the stringent directive by the immediate past government that he should stay action on the matter.

 Speaking earlier, the Alahon of Ahan-Ayegunle, Oba Durojaye, applauded Dr Kayode Fayemi’s government for granting autonomy, following their qualification, insisting that his title can’t be replicated by Olomuo.

Durojaye said he appreciated the fact that the Alahan’s title was part of the Olomuo-in-Council before the autonomy, saying the community has now become independent and that his title can’t be replicated anywhere.

“I know much about the history than any other person in that area. I am not opposed to the autonomy for Ahan -Ayegunle. But we have Ahan -Ayegunle and Ahan- Omuo. Ahan Ayegunle joined Omuo- Ekiti recently.

“The Alahan can only control Ahon-Ayegunle and not Ahon -Omuo, that has always been my contention. Ahan-Ayegunle to Ahan-Omuo is about 10 kilometres to each other and the latter is firmly on our land. How can Alahan now controls the people on my land?

“We will abide by the government’s position that they will constitute a reconciliation committee to visit the place. We are confident that the truth will be unfolded when they come.”
