Renowned Fuji musician, Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Adesanya, has approached the Ogun State High Court sitting in Ijebu-Ode, seeking an interim order restraining the Ogun State Government and other parties from taking further steps in the installation process of the next Awujale of Ijebuland.
In the suit, the musician, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate (KWAM 1), joined Governor Dapo Abiodun as the first respondent, alongside five others.
Others in the suit are the Chairman of Ijebu-Ode Local Government; the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs; the Secretary of Ijebu-Ode Local Government; the Chairman of the Awujale Interregnum Administrative Council; and the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House.
The action with suit number HC3/238/2025 before High Court II, is contained in a motion ex parte dated December 16, 2025.
The application was brought pursuant to Order 38 Rule 4 and Order 39 Rule 1 of the High Court of Ogun State (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2024, Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), and under the inherent jurisdiction of the court.
KWAM 1 is seeking an order of interim injunction restraining the respondents from taking any further action in the selection or installation process of the next Awujale, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
The applicant claimed that the interim relief is necessary to preserve the subject matter of the dispute and prevent actions that could render the court proceedings nugatory.
The suit follows the musician’s earlier expression of interest in the vacant stool of the Awujale, which he linked to his alleged lineage from the Jadiara Royal House, a branch of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House.
However, the Fusengbuwa family had rejected the claim, stating that the Olori Omoba of Ijebuland has no ancestral connection with the royal house.
Recall that Wasiu Ayinde was installed as the Olori Omooba of Ijebuland by the late Awujale from the Fidipote ruling house and not Fusengbuwa ruling house.
During the burial of his mother, Alhaji Halimah Anifowose in January 2025, the musician also claimed to be from Fidipote total family white throwing jabs at islamic clerics who had thronged his residence instead of Fidipote family house.
As at the time of filing this report, the court had yet to fix a date for the hearing of the application.
Nigerian dancer cum entertainer, Iweh Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has spoken about his ordeal following his release on bail in the United Kingdom.
Naija News recalls that Snaresbrook Crown Court had earlier fixed September 15 for plea and trial preparation in Poco Lee’s sexual offence case.
The case stems from Poco Lee’s visit to the UK in August for the Davido and Friends concert, which was held at the Crystal Palace Bowl in London on August 14.
However, during a video call with social commentator, VeryDarkMan, Poco Lee said his main concern while he was away was the welfare of his associates and the impact of his absence on their business activities.
The dancer maintained that he is innocent of the sexual allegation and his mind is pure.
He said, “I was just being myself. God sees my heart. My only worries were about my people. Jago could not do anything business, and I didn’t want to stress anyone.
“If I was inside there and I did what I was accused of, I would have felt I was paying for my sins, but since I knew I didn’t do what I was accused of, my mind is pure.
“Nobody would have wanted to associate themselves with something like that, but Burna Boy stood by me, Jago and some of my other guys.”
VeryDarkMan, who shared the video call on social media, also praised Nigerian singers, Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for their support.
In the caption accompanying the video, VDM wrote: “I just got off a video call with @rahman_jago_ and @poco_lee. I guess the next narrative will be this is AI. THERE IS A REASON WHY I BRAG WITH INTEGRITY, I AM NOBODY’S mate, WHEN I talk take it to the bank.”
The Rivers State House of Assembly has passed the state’s ₦1.8 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill.
Daily Voice reports that the bill was unanimously passed by 26 lawmakers during the Assembly’s resumed sitting in Port Harcourt.
Once assented to by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the budget will provide basis for the state government’s expenditure and implementation of programmes and projects.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has widened its lead over the Accord Party in a fresh results update released by the APC Social Media and Situation Room Team during the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
The update, released at 3:40 p.m., showed below.
According to the update, the figures were compiled from 508 polling units so far.
The latest figures put the APC ahead of Accord by 1,320 votes, representing a notable increase from the earlier margin reported by the party’s situation room.
The figures indicate a closely fought contest between the APC and Accord, with the two leading parties separated by just over 1,000 votes based on the results presented.
The APC Situation Room described the figures as “real-time updates”, suggesting that additional results are still expected from other polling units across the state.
However, the figures have not been independently verified and should not be regarded as the official result of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) remains responsible for the verification, collation and declaration of the final governorship election results.
With results from only 508 polling units reflected in the latest update, the overall outcome remains uncertain, particularly as more results are expected from across Osun’s local government areas.
The narrowing or widening of the margin in subsequent updates could significantly shape expectations about the eventual winner.
Note: The figures reported above are based solely on the APC Social Media and Situation Room Team’s update shown in the supplied image and remain subject to official verification by INEC.
