IJEBU INVESTIGATES SPECIAL REPORT "The Man Who became two Princes

By Yomi Lawal (11/15/2025)

How One Controversial Candidate Claimed Two Royal Lineages — and Why Ijebu Is Talking”**

In the ancient city of Ijebu-Ode, where royal lineage is sacred, documented, and preserved like ancestral treasure, a storm is brewing around the controversial rise of Ayodele “Oriade” Osisanya — a man who, depending on which day you ask, is either:

A son of the 6th royal house — Otumowo, or… A sudden “prince” of the 1st royal house — Otuboyejo.

Both cannot be true. 

And that contradiction has shaken the Oloja-Eginrin Chieftaincy Family to its foundation.

THE ROYAL ROTATION — A SYSTEM BUILT ON FAIRNES

By law and tradition, the prestigious Jaginrin Chieftaincy title rotates among seven royal houses: All born from the same father but two mothers. The first 5 came from Olumudegun (1st wife) and Odubanwo (2nd wife) who had two female children - 

M (1) OTUBOYEJO Ruling House. 1st inline -  but had no candidate all along and passed

M (2) ADEJAKO Ruling House. 2nd inline and presented the bonafide omo oye

M 3) AWOFOLUREN Ruling House. 

F (4) ADEFOLUKE Ruling House. 

F (5) OTUMOWO  Ruling House. Where Otunba Gameboy came from

F (6) ODUFADEKE Ruling House, 

F (7) OLUBAMOWO  Ruling Mouse.

The rule is simple:

If a house has no eligible candidate, the next house steps forward.

Gameboy however had a plan, there is nothing money cannot corrupt he believed. He decided to leverage the same people who had tried to help him trojan horse his way into the Oke-Eri throne. 

Why Oke-Eri? Let me tell you his genealogy, or what we could find of it.

Olubela had the aforementioned 7 children.

 

The 5th born (Otumowo) had children, amongst whom was a daughter. Her husband must have been from Idepo, thence that daughter (Otunba Gameboy’s great grandmother) becoming known as coming from Idepo. That is if Gameboys father's claim is true.

This great grandmother then married someone from Oke-Eri (Otunba Gameboy great grandfather).

These great grandparents also had kids. 

One of their daughters (Otunba Gameboy grandmother) married a man from Ijebu-Ikala (that’s Gameboys grandfather). 

These grandparents gave birth to Aina Osisanya (An Ikala man), who then married from Imupa and they then gave birth to Gameboy. 

As can be seen, Ayodele Osisanya is from Ijebu-Ikala and not from Idepo because his father, and grandfather are from Ikala. 

His great grandfather is from Oke-Eri. This was why he went to Oke-Eri to claim royalty that also was never his.

On the 9th of November, He was told, along with the Oke-Eri troops and the Olori-Ebi he had essentially bought, that it was not yet the turn of Otumowo house (the house he claimed when his name was forged into family meeting records by the last family secretary - Mr Osinjinrin Muritala Alimi). This was because they had occupied the stool in recent past, and others were yet to. 

This was aside from the criminal case of possession of multiple fake IDs with his pictures but other people’s identities (see pictures below).

The Palace had to wade in because the Bonafide candidate had petition the Palace to let them know the internal heist and fraudulent nomination that Ayo was using questionable wealth to carry out.

THE AWUJALE PALACE STEPS IN

Following the petition, the Awujale Palace gave a directive:

“Follow the law. Follow the rotation among the seven royal houses.”

That instruction should have ended the controversy. But instead — it deepened it.

Because when the family was asked to conclude screening of the candidates, Otunba Gameboy instructed the Olori-Ebi - Mr Fetuga - to unilaterally disband the screening committee and say that the process was starting afresh. 

Ayodele Osisanya would be the 1st person in the history of Ogun State to coopt the Press into assisting his 2nd attempt at stealing a title that does not belong to him. He brought the PRESS to cover and give legitimacy to a crime in progress. 

On Wednesday 12th of November, Ayodele Osisanya, AKA Karim Abbey Addington, was re-presented by a bought Olori-Ebi as the new candidate, using the PRESS to document the absurdity. 

In a show of absolute shamelessness, the same Ayodele Osisanya who introduced himself as coming Otumowo ruling house just last week at the Awujale Palace, magically reappeared as a member of the Otuboyejo house. He said that he was "adopted." He would be the first such orhpan in Yoruba history that would be adopted from one Ruling house to another. More shameful is the action of the Olori-Ebi who has, however, been suspended by the family.

The question shaking Ijebu now is:

How can one man belong to TWO royal houses simultaneously?

THE SUSPICIOUS METAMORPHOSIS

Community elders whisper about the impossibility:

“A royal lineage is not like changing clothes.”

“You cannot jump from 6th house to 1st house overnight.”

“Even a masquerade cannot wake up as two different spirits.”

Yet this is exactly the kind of identity shift that observers say mirrors Osisanya’s history of alleged fraud and changing identities abroad.

FROM MINNESOTA TO IJEBU—A PATTERN EMERGES

According to information circulating among community members and concerned citizens in the diaspora, Osisanya has long faced allegations related to:

Multiple identities used in the U.S., including names like:

Karim Abbey Addington

Taylor Gregory Steven

David Sam McAndrews

Ashurst, Abbey Jimmy

Kamil Charles Aduddell, amongst others! 

Sudden unexplained wealth in Nigeria, including:

Royal Galaxy Hotel, Oke-Eri, Range Rover SUVs, Multiple landed properties, 

Income history that does not match his spending patterns, as alleged by acquaintances familiar with his U.S. employment record.

The pattern is the same, his expertise is not in finances as stated in his misleading resume, his expertise is identity theft:

**When one identity doesn’t work, he creates another.

When one door closes, he invents a new entrance.

When one royal house rejects him, he “joins” another.**

IJEBU PEOPLE ARE ASKING HARD QUESTIONS

Residents and elders are openly wondering: how is is it even possible?

“How did a man from Otumowo house of one Chieftaincy family switch to Otuboyejo house of the same family only when it was time to collect title?”

“Is the chieftaincy now a game of identity switching?”

“If he can change royal houses, what else can he change?”

Some say that this is no longer just a family issue, but a matter of Ijebu traditional integrity, because:

“If identity fraud enters our royal houses, then nothing is sacred anymore.”

THE HEART OF THE MATTER

At its core, the controversy is not merely about a title.

It is about the erosion of royal tradition,

About manipulation of heritage,

And about the audacity of a man who believes he can rewrite genealogy the same way he allegedly rewrote identities abroad. This is about a man who has absolutely no respect for the Awujale Palace nor the elders of Ijebuland.

In a kingdom where lineage is passed down with the bloodline, not the pen, the story of Ayodele Osisanya has become the loudest warning yet:

People have asked, how come the moment the palace reminded the family that Otuboyejo (1st house) had the current turn, something remarkable happened:

Ayodele Osisanya reappeared—reborn as Otuboyejo royalty.

Elders familiar with the case describe it as “an impossible mutation.”

One elderly chief put it bluntly:

“A person can change his address, his name, even his religion.

But your royal house? That is the blood of your ancestors.

You cannot change it because a title is available.” 

Yet that is precisely the allegation now rocking the community. Who exactly are Ayodele Osisanya's ancestors? 

A man whose father and grandfather are from Ikala, which makes him of Ikala ancestry, or at best Oke-Eri, since his great grandfather is from Oke-Eri; is clinging instead to a lost identity. He is on record lying that his grandfather (who is not related to the Oloja-Eginrin family in any way) is from the Oloja-Eginrin family?

To many, his attempt to shift between royal houses is not a surprise, but simply the same pattern of fraud migrating from the U.S. into Ijebu culture. 

A TITLE TOO IMPORTANT TO COMPROMISE

The Jaginrin is not a ceremonial decoration.

It is an ancient administrative pillar, one of the posts that stabilized Ijebu civilization for centuries.

If that office becomes infected with manipulated genealogy, observers warn:

Other titles will follow

Royal houses will lose their structure

Palace authority will be undermined

Future generations will inherit confusion instead of history

Moneyed opportunists will replace ancestral legitimacy

This is why many believe the Awujale’s Palace early intervention was timely — but the fight is far from over.

Let every full blooded Ijebu sons and daughters stop Ayodele Osisanya from corrupting Ijebu culture further. It is your duty to share this widely to defend Ijebuland. 

In my opinion, he should be blacklisted in Ijebu for this audacity to defraud the Awujale Palace and the Oloja-Eginrin family. We want Omo oyè, not omo olè 🤌🏾 (see more of his multiple fake Identities found abroad). I hear he is afraid of coming back to the US, he believes the FBI would arrest him (for someone who claims he is being defamed, why is he afraid of coming back to the US?) 

Èwen dede omo Ìjèbú, 

**If fraud is not stopped at the palace gate,

It will soon sit near the throne.** 

Èèwò!!!!
