Ladoja who spoke through the Ekerin Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Akeem Mobolaji Adewoyin congratulated the newly installed Mogajis for assuming their new traditional positions as Mogajis of their family compounds.
He, however, warned the new Mogajis not to be involved in any nefarious activities and to shun social menaces such as land grabbing, drug abuse and corruption.
“You are my ambassadors anywhere you are, consequently, you should key into my vision of taking Ibadanland to a greater height.
“The paramount ruler warned the Mogajis not to be involved in any nefarious activities that can tarnish the image of Olubadan and Ibadanland such as land grabbing, hatred ,vendetta , drug abuse, corruption among others as you will be held responsible for any criminal act within your domains.”
