The Ogun State House of Assembly has requested the security agencies to arrest Nollywood actor, Mr Goriola Hassan, who has been unlawfully parading himself as the King elect of Imobi in Ijebu East Local Government Area of the State, and present him to the house within 14 days.
The Assembly’s request has followed the presentation of the report of the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs by its Chairman, Mrs Bolanle Ajayi, who later moved the motion for its adoption, seconded by Mr Ganiyu Oyedeji and supported by all the lawmakers through a voice vote.
According to the Committee’s observations, Mr Goriola had converted a government building to private use and disobeyed the orders of a constituted authority to stop parading himself as the Olu of Imobi.
The Committee affirmed that the Onitasin of Itasin remained the only King and prescribed authority in Imobi Land and had not granted such consent to the said Goriola.
The Committee in its recommendations directed that the government building, which was the Government’s Community Dispensary House at Fotedo, Imobi earlier converted to private use by Mr Goriola be taken over by the community.
It would be recalled that the Assembly had earlier extended three separate invitations to Goriola on Tuesday, 10th August, 17th August and Thursday, 2nd September 2021 all of which he failed to appear to respond to allegations levelled against him by the members of the Imobi Descendants’ Union, Imobi Ijebu Development Association, and the Baales of the 36 villages in Imobi.
