After the Osun State Government appointed Prince Yinusa Olalekan Akadiri as the Akinrun, he allegedly led other persons to the town to gain access to the palace, which resulted in the renewed Ikirun obaship tussle that was rocking the town. This resulted in the town being shaken to its foundations.
People in the town, including chiefs and the head of the kingmakers, did not agree with the Osun State Government’s decision to appoint Akadiri as the Akinrun.
He was also prevented from entering the palace from the second day after his declaration as the new king, which resulted in the staff of office being presented to him in the State Government Secretariat by the state government.
