Olubadan : Sarkin Sasa title not recognised 

The Olubadan of Ibadanland Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has declared as null and void the title of Sarkin Sasa, saying it is not recognised by Ibadan Traditional Chieftaincy Law.

The declaration was made on Monday after the Olubadan – In – Council meeting held at Olubadan Palace, Oke Aremo, Ibadan.

” Chief Akinade Ajani Amusa is the recognised Baale of Sasa land in Akinyele Local Area  and the accredited representative of the Olubadan of Ibadanland”, Olubadan said.

“Let it be noted that any individual or group of persons in Sasa land are under the authority of the Baale of Sasa land; Chief Amusa Akinade Ajani. It is therefore imperative to accord him the appropriate respect and authority. Any disobedience to his directive will be met with serious sanctions as it will be considered an affront to the Olubadan stool”, the monarch added.

It would be recalled that the 8th day firdaus prayer for late Alhaji Haruna Maiyasin Kastina was observed on March 8, 2025 at Sasa, Ibadan, but turned out to be the turbaning ceremony of Ciroma, the son of the deceased as the new Sarkin Sasa without the approval of the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
