An Ogun State chief, Odofin of Ijejaland, Sunday Oluwole, has been reportedly suspended with immediate effect.

Odofin’s suspension was contained in a letter written by Kehinde Amusa of Hassan Amusa & Co., Abeokuta.

Amusa had reportedly written on behalf of the Odofin Compound in ljeja, Abeokuta, following a meeting held by leaders of the compound which was attended by the Baale of Odofin village, Ijeja, Chief Semiu Lawal; the secretary, Elder E. O. Olatomi; the Mufasir Musulumi of ljeja, Alh. Surajudeen Lawal; and Elder Obayomi Olori-Ebi.
