Three High Chiefs due for elevation as Obas shun coronation

The crisis between the traditional institution in Ibadanland and the Oyo State government has deepened. Three High Chiefs, Kola Babalola, Akeem Bolaji Adewoyin, and Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli, announced they would not attend their scheduled elevation to Obas. The state government released the list of those due for elevation without waiting for the Olubadan to submit his list, leading to a collective decision by traditional chiefs to shun the event.
