Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Adetunji
The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Adetunji has warned leaders of the Igbo community in Ibadan to subject themselves to the authority of the baales in their domains.
The king said said Eze Ndigbo must operate within the framework of the Ibadan traditional authority.
The monarch said on no account would the palace attend to the Eze without passing through the baales under who they must subject themselves.

The king also seized the beads of the Baale of Ido, Chief Tajudeen Akinola Agura, for parading himself as the Onido.
“We’ve done many things today on the issue of the man parading himself as Onido who has been suspended. The Kabiyesi was of the view that since he has been suspended, he cannot go about parading himself as Onido, wearing beads. So, we have seized his beads.
“The second issue was the issue of Eze Ndigbo. In any community, you cannot have two monarchs. The only Oba in Ibadan is the Olubadan. So, no other person can call himself his royal highness in Ibadan land,” the Asipa Balogun of Ibadan, High Chief Tajudeen Ajibola, told news men in Ibadan.
Recall that several Yoruba Obas have banned the title of Eze Ndigbo in their communities saying there cannot be two kings in a community. Also, calls have been made to Ezes in Igbo land to ban the title of Eze Ndigbo outside their domain.
