Reactions have continued to trail a news publication on an online news platform regarding siblings fighting over a property in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
The story published in February, was between the Bada of Egbaland Chief Femi Majekodunmi and his younger brother Professor Ribigbe Majekodunmi over a contending two story building at Omitowoju area of Ibadan the Oyo state capital.
It would be recalled that in the month of February 2024, Professor Ribigbe Majekodunmi was arraigned at magistrate court One sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan, following a criminal charge filed against him by Chief Majekodunmi Bada of Egbaland alledging him of illegally occupying the building in contention.
Delivering her ruling, the Magistrate who discharged and acquitted Professor Ribigbe Majekodunmi ordered amicable resolution over the property in dispute between the two brothers.
The Magistrate said the two parties should maintain status quo over the contending two story building, pending the determination of the substantial suit at a High Court in Ibadan.
The imbroglio began when chief Majekodunmi who is claiming the ownership of the building wanted to embark on the renovation of the building without the knowledge of his brother Professor Majekodunmi who is currently occupying the building.
Professor Majekodunmi had objected to the claim by his elder brother that the property belonged to him, insisting that it was a collective family patrimony.
In her reaction to the brouhaha, immediate younger sister to Chief Majekodunmi Mrs Afolake Ogunduyile (72) Maryland USA, says: “Hey Bros mi. Third time we had refrained from getting involved with your saga with Ribigbe over Omitowoju because nobody can have a reasonable talk with you without you blowing your toes and screaming and throwing tantrums. You called me and exhibited same. Even Papa couldn’t talk to you without you throwing things around.
We are all grown ups and not kids.
Let have dialogue like adults without you storming off.Let face it you’re dragging the family name in the mud.

May be Papa wrote it in his WILL.
We are sure this will shed more light on your fixation with Omitowoju despite you having other homes that Godh has blessed you with.Enough is enough.
Also reacting, the immediate younger sister to Mrs Afolake Ogunduyile, Mrs Doyinsola Odunuga in Lagos, wrote: ‘Brother! Please find it in your heart to forgive and forget all we your siblings have said or done to deserve this nonchalant attitude towards our rights.Our parents heritage you have denied us.please for God sake, e ma je wa mo ogun.And please don’t send Ribigbe into prison as posterity will not forgive you.
