JUST IN: Alaafin Stool Is Not For Sale, Makinde Declares

He said the state would do everything possible to protect the stool adding that anyone who might have given money to anyone because of the stool would be sent to the antigraft agency.

Makinde said he would not only refer such people to the Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency (OYOCA) but would personally take such individuals to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He urged the people of Oyo town, particularly those jostling for the stool to embrace peace so that the next occupant can be announced, just as he did with the approval of the new Aseyin of Iseyinland.
