The Awujale Kingmakers Council has cancelled a planned meet-and-greet at Aafin Awujale, instructing Awujale nominees to report to the DSS office in Ijebu-Ode by 11 am on Wednesday instead.
The cancellation notice was issued in a January 20, 2026 letter addressed to Fusengbuwa ruling house chairman Otunba Lateef Owoyemi, deputy Otunba Dokun Ajidagba, and vice chairman Prof. Fassy Yusuf.
Awujale nominees are required to report to the DSS office at NTA Road, beside State Psychiatric Hospital, Ijebu-Ode, by 11 am prompt, according to the notice.
The council cited the decision as the reason for cancelling the Aafin Awujale event, apologising for any inconvenience caused by the sudden change.
The letter, signed by the Secretary of the Awujale Afobaje Council, Chief Ayotunde Ola Odulaja, urged all concerned nominees to comply strictly with the directive and ensure punctuality.
The development is coming amid ongoing traditional processes surrounding Awujale-related nominations in Ijebuland. Further details on the outcome of the DSS engagement were not disclosed at the time of filing this report.
The letter partly reads “We write to formally inform you that the meet-and-greet earlier scheduled for this morning at the Aafin Awujale has been cancelled.
“Accordingly, the Awujale nominees are hereby directed to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) office located at State Security Service (SSS) Along NTA Road, Beside the State Psychiatric Hospital, Off Igbeba Road,
Ijebu-Ode. Time: 11:00 a.m. prompt.
