The growing public speculation about Fuji icon, KWAM1, having royal ties strong enough to qualify him for the Awujale of Ijebuland throne, has taken a new turn.

The Jadiara Royal Family stated that Fuji legend KWAM1 has no genealogical ties to the ruling house

The family distanced itself from claims suggesting he could be eligible for Awujale succession

However, in a statement dated December 7, 2025, and issued in Ijebu-Ode, the family declared that the revered musician has no traceable link to their lineage, contrary to insinuations circulating in public discussions.

The statement was signed by the Head of the Jadiara Royal House, Otunba Prince Akinola Odedina, and addressed to key authorities in Ogun State, including the Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs, the Attorney-General, the Ijebu-Ode Local Government, and the Awujale Interregnum Administration Council.

Odedina stated that the Jadiara House has no archaeological, documented, or oral historical record linking the Fuji musician to their lineage.

He emphasised that although the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling Family may have issued KWAM1 a nomination form as part of the verification process, the musician has not appeared before the family nor presented any documents to prove his ancestry.

According to Odedina: “I can say categorically that Wasiu has no genealogical linkage with the Jadiara Royal House. We in Jadiara Royal House have waited for him to show up with his form and whatever documents he may have to prove his linkage to Jadiara Royal House. He is yet to show up.”

The family said it considered it necessary to publicly address the matter due to the intense public interest that the rumoured linkage has generated.

The statement further urged the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling Family to refrain from any dealings with KWAM1 regarding claims of genealogical eligibility or any purported family relationship to the Fusengbuwa ruling line.

Odedina stressed that the royal house must protect the integrity of the selection process for the next Awujale and ensure that only genuinely eligible descendants are considered.

He assured both the ruling family and the general public that the royal house remains committed to transparency throughout the succession process.

A joint military force, comprising the Beninese army, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), and French forces, foiled another coup attempt in the democracy-weary Sahel region

The rebel soldiers, led by Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri, justified their actions by criticising President Patrice Talon’s management of Benin Republic

Amid President Bola Tinubu and Nigeria’s assistance, coup plotters reportedly fired at what appeared to be a NAF fighter jet on Sunday, December 7

A video has emerged reportedly showing Benin coupists firing wildly to down Nigeria’s anti-coup attack aircraft. International media outlet RT shared a clip of the purported attack on Monday, December 8.

In the 10-second clip, what looked like a military aircraft could be seen in the sky, and shots could be heard in the background.

Many Feared Dead As Bandit Launch Attacks On Adamawa Communities

Local sources told Daily Voice that the attackers advanced from the creeks bordering Gombe and overran several settlements from the western axis, sacking Tingno, Waduku and two other villages.

Panic has gripped parts of Adamawa State as heavily armed Chobo-speaking tribal militia from neighbouring Gombe State, joined their counterparts in Adamawa state and launched coordinated assaults on Bachama communities in Lamurde Local Government Area, leaving dozens feared dead.

“They’ve burnt Waduku and Tingno to ashes,” one source said. “Our youths mobilised quickly to stop them from pushing into Rigange.”

Another resident confirmed that although the assailants attempted to move towards Lamurde, the LGA headquarters, they were repelled.

“But Tingno and Waduku are completely destroyed,” he added.

The fresh violence erupted barely days after Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri brokered a fragile peace deal between the warring Chobo and Bachama groups, according to Dr. Jamila Suleiman, Executive Vice Chairperson of the Adamawa State Peace Commission.

As attacks continued, Governor Fintiri imposed a 24-hour curfew on Lamurde LGA. Security operatives have now been deployed to the flashpoints, the spokesperson for the Adamawa State Police Command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, announced.

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Nguroje urged residents to comply strictly with the curfew order.

“Following a renewed communal clash in Lamurde LGA and the declaration of a 24-hour curfew by the state government, the command advises the public—especially those within Lamurde—to stay indoors to prevent further breakdown of law and order,” he said.

He said the Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, has deployed additional tactical units to enforce the curfew and maintain stability in the troubled area.

“The command, in collaboration with sister security agencies, will not allow miscreants and misguided elements to operate unchallenged,” Nguroje warned, assuring that officers would act within the law while avoiding unnecessary loss of life.
