The Fusengbuwa Ruling House says it has refunded all monies paid by applicants who took the form to contest for the Awujale of Ijebuland.
The Olori Ebi of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Otunba Lateef Owoyemi made the clarification following reports circulating on social media that the house offered the form for ₦10 million.
Owoyemi, who stated that charging a fee was not unusual, explained that refunds were completed within three days after the Ogun State Government advised that the process should be opened up and made free for all eligible family members.
The Ogun State Government suspended the selection process earlier this month after petitions, protests, and security reports raised concerns about order and due process.
Despite the controversy, the Fusengbuwa Ruling House has maintained that it acted transparently and in accordance with tradition throughout the process.
