The Ogun State Government on Monday said it is unshaken by threats of legal action from any group or individual challenging the burial of the Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, which was conducted in line with Islamic rites.

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Sina Ogungbade (SAN), was reacting to the threat by the International Council for Ifa Religion to take legal action against the government and the family of the late Oba Adetona over violations of traditional burial rites.

Ogungbade (SAN) said that while it would be a sheer waste of time and resources for anyone to institute legal action against the government over Awujale’s burial according to his religious beliefs, it is still within the ambit of the law to hold the government accountable through judicial processes.

Oba Adetona passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the age of 91, and was laid to rest on Monday, July 14, 2025, according to Islamic rites.

The burial has generated controversies, with the ICIR and traditionalists condemning the government for going against traditions.
