DSS summons Awujale nominees as kingmakers cancel meet-and-greet

The Awujale Kingmakers Council has cancelled a planned meet-and-greet earlier scheduled to hold at the Aafin Awujale, directing all Awujale nominees to report instead to the Department of State Services (DSS) office in Ijebu-Ode on Wednesday by 11:00 a.m.

The directive was conveyed in a formal letter dated January 20, 2026, addressed to the leadership of the Fusengbuwa ruling house, including its Chairman, Otunba Lateef Owoyemi; Deputy Chairman, Otunba Dokun Ajidagba; and Vice Chairman, Prof. Fassy Yusuf.

According to the communication, all nominees are to present themselves at the DSS office located along NTA Road, beside the State Psychiatric Hospital, off Igbeba Road, Ijebu-Ode, at 11:00 a.m. prompt.

The council explained that the summons by the DSS necessitated the cancellation of the earlier engagement at the Aafin Awujale and expressed regret over any inconvenience caused by the sudden change.

The letter, signed by the Secretary of the Awujale Afobaje Council, Chief Ayotunde Ola Odulaja, urged the nominees to comply strictly with the directive and ensure punctuality.

The development comes amid ongoing traditional processes concerning Awujale-related nominations in Ijebuland. Details of the engagement with the DSS were not disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
