The seven-year old dispute over the stool of Osobia of Makun Omi, Ogun Waterside Area of Ogun State, has been resolved.
This followed the formal withdrawal from the High Court of Ogun State (Abigi Judicial Division), of the suit filed by some indigenes of the community against the ascendancy to the throne by Oba Kazeem Salami.
This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the Secretary, Reconciliation Committee,
Makun Omi, Otunba Gbenga Onayiga.
In a court paper dated March 17, 2026, Hon. Justice O. H. Ojajinmi, said: “The case, having been withdrawn on the instruction of the claimants, is hereby struck out.”

A peace committee, convened by a respected indigene, Mrs. Dupe Okesanjo, had engaged all stakeholders in reconciliatory talks before reaching an amicable resolution of the obaship struggle.
Reacting to the withdrawal of the suit from the court, Mrs. Okesanjo said the development had heralded a new era in Makun.
She believed the development would also foster unity and accelerate development in the ancient town.
She said the resolution was mutual, with no victor and no vanquished.
Okesanjo said: “Makun Omi has now bounced back as one big, united family, poised to take the ancient community to greater heights.”
