Osun state government has condemned in totality the installation of one Iwindapo Olubayo Olusola as the new Alara of Ara community in Egbedore Local Government area of the state by some groups.
According to a press release issued and made available to newsmen in Osogbo by the Supervisor of the state Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Barrister Adebisi Adejare, the group has Violated Section 21 of the Chiefs Law, Cap 25, laws of Osun state, 2002.
According to the release, it is only the state government that can approve the appointment of occupant of the stool adding that, up to this moment, no such approval had been made.
Barr. Adejare added that, the stool of Alara of Ara is a part II (recognised) and is still vacant, anyone parading himself as an Alara is an impostor and the action is in flagrant disregard of the law.
Barr. Adejare stressed that both the persons that purportedly installed someone and the person who permitted himself to be installed have acted against the law and the security agents have been requested to enforce.
