No cause for alarm on the preparation for selection of the next Olupele of Ipele.
Kingmakers in Ipele, Owo local government area of Ondo State say on Tuesday in a press statement in reaction to an alleged attack on them by thugs.
“Our attention has been drawn on online media reports claiming that Ipele Kingmakers were recently attacked on Monday night this over the obaship tussle.
“As a matter of fact, there was no attack on any of the eight Kingmakers. I hereby challenge journalists from the various media houses to visit Ipele town and contact the various Kingmakers for confirmation.
“I, Chief Raji Olujase, the Adele Olupele and the Head of the Kingmakers want to put the records straight that the online media claims were the figment of imagination of the reporters.
