orders with suit numbers: HOS/84/2020 and HED/26/2020 that restrained the
parties including; Egbedore Local Government,State Ministry of Local

Director, Department of State Security (DSS),Chairman, National
Judicial Council (NJC) and other concern authorities with
international communities and made the copies available to newsmen at
the weekend,explained that it was because of allegations of forgery
and perjury of selection documents lead to the purported crowning of
Taiwo Adegboye as monarch in the midnight of September 14th, 2021.
The letter reads in part; ” Prince Abubakar Adeniyi informed the human
rights organization (CHRSJ) that it would not be augur well for an
alleged serial forger, Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye to become a King of
an ancient town of Awo in Egbedore Local Government area of Osun State
that has produced Captains of industry, seasoned Public Servants,
renowned human rights activist, astatute politicians-presently having
an House of
Representatives member at the Green Chamber, Abuja and those that have
excelled in their various fields of human endeavour.
“Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye and his cohorts began their forgery
methodology from the so called purported/kangaroo Minute of Selection
Meeting of Abioye Ruling House/ Compound, Awo, dated 24st(th) August,
2020,where some Egbedore Local Government officials claimed to be an
observers without showing any evidence of ‘Video Clip’ of where the
sons and daughters of Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Awo, meet to
select Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye as their candidate for Alawo stool.
” But investigation revealed that Abioye Ruling House under the Headship of
Alhaji (Prince) Abdulkareem Adegboye did not call any meeting anywhere
whatsoever on the acclaimed date of 24st(th) August, 2020, in respect of
filling the vacant stool of Alawo and not to talk of selecting any Crown
Prince out of their two Crown Prince(s) ,Prince Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman and
Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye that obtained Expression of Interest Form from
Egbedore Local Government, Awo.
“It has been cleared that Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye and his co- travelers
cooked the so-called Abioye Ruling House! Compound, Awo,Minute of
purported/kangaroo Selection Meeting of 24st(th) August, 2020,with the show
evidence of different thumbprinting impressions and signatures of the Head
of Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Awo and Secretary, Alhaji (Prince)
Abdulkareem Adegboye and Alhaji(Prince) Abidoye Hamzat Gboyelade or Prince
(Hamzat) Abidoye or Hamsat Abidoye respectively, in Taiwo’s Expression of
Interest Form with( N0:000000114).”
The letter further stated that, ” Also,Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye went ahead
again to forge the thumb-printing impression and signature of Head of
Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Alhaji (Prince) Abdulkareem Adegboye and that
of the Secretary, Prince Hamzat or Abidoye Hamzat Gboyelade or Hamsat
Abidoye respectively, in the purported Minute of Selection Meeting of
Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Awo and used it as exhibit (B03) in a case
with suit N0:(HED/26/2020), before the High Court of Justice sitting in
Ede.
” Sir, it was discovered that Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye’s Notice of Appeal
as it contained in his Bond to Prosecute Appeal N0: CA/AK/58m/2021 on suit
N0:HOS/84/2021 and Taiwo’s Expression of Interest Form with N0:
000000114-page exhibit (5b) were of the same signature of Hamsat Abidoye as
Surety and that of Alhaji (Prince) Abidoye Hamzat Gboyelade with different
thumb-printing impressions of Head of Abioye Ruling House/Compound,
Awo,Alhaji (Prince) Abdulkareem Adegboye.
“Sir,even, in their purported/kangaroo Minute of Selection Meeting, the
Local Government officials who claimed to be observers ,could not identify
the year of Alawo of Awo Chieftaincy Declaration to be used for Taiwo
Abdulrasaq Adegboye’s purported/kangaroo selection as candidate of Abioye
Ruling House/Compound, Awo,for Alawo’s stool. According to their purported
Minute of Selection Meeting of 24st(th) August, 2020, the four (4) Local
Government Officials (observers) were acted on obsolete (1957) Alawo of
Awo Chieftaincy Declaration, while the subsisting (1978) Alawo of Awo
Chieftaincy Declaration was in used since (1978) till date”.
The Petition letter with fifteen (15) paragraphs Sworn Affidavit of
Affirmation, requested for thorough and credible investigation on the
subject matter from the security agents for possible prosecution of the
culprits.
It contended that it has been cleared that Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye were
product of fake, forgery and perjury to ascend the throne of Alawo of Awo
on Monday 13th of September,2021 and by extension, committing the criminal
offence which is punishable under the criminal law of the land because only
President, Vice President, Governor and Deputy Governor exempted from
criminal prosecution and not investigation under the section 308 immunity
clause of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as
amended.
Relating Taiwo Adegboye’s fake,forgery and perjury selection documents to
the Alawo throne to the then Deputy Governor elect of Bayelsa State under
the All Progressives Congress(APC), Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Erienmienyo in
the November 16,2019 Governorship election, which the Supreme Court of
Nigeria sacked him and his Governor Elect, Mr. David Lyon, barely 24 hours
to their inauguration as Governor and Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State over
forgery.
The group then advised the new purported Alawo of Awo, (Oba?)Taiwo
Abdulrasaq Adegboye, the Abioye III, to resign honourably from the illegal
throne of Alawo he occupied presently before he would be disgraced out of
the place.
According to the group, ” We are not keeping any malice with the State
Government of Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola because he has returned life
back to the State workforce and retirees alike but it is advisable for
Governor Oyetola to set up an independent panel of enquiry on the
allegations of fake,forge and perjury selection documents leveled against
the newly appointed Alawo of Awo, Oba? Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye, Abioye
III, before the issue cause credibility and integrity problem for the
respected present administration under the able leadership of Governor
Adegboyega Oyetola.
“If the independent panel of enquiry found the newly appointed Alawo of Awo
and his cohorts culpable of the allegations, Governor Oyetola should just
advice him to honourably leave the throne by withdrawing the appointment of
office given to Oba? Taiwo Abdulrasaq Adegboye immediately, for the genuine
and incorruptible second contender from Abioye Ruling House/Compound, Awo
to ascend the throne of their forefathers with the clean record of
integrity and credibility”.
It submitted that anybody, no matter whose ox is gored,committed any crime
should should allow to face the consequences of such crime committed
according to the law of the land, noting that the group would soon
consult-wide with the leaders of thought in the State before starting
traditional activism to seek redress on the burning issue in accordance
with democratic norms and ethos,after which it would address the World
Press Conference to explain to the world on the subject matters.
