The Fusengbuwa Ruling House, the next in line to present a candidate for the Awujale throne, has filed a lawsuit against Professor Fassy Yusuf over his alleged claim to the title of Deputy Olori Ebi.
In a suit filed at the High Court of Ogun State, the current Olori Ebi of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Otunba Ajidagba Adedokun, accused Professor Yusuf of falsely parading himself as the Deputy Olori Ebi of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Ile-Nla Compound.
Otunba Ajidagba, in his statement of claim, asserted that Professor Fassy Yusuf has no royal lineage connected to the Ile-Nla Compound in Agunsebi, Ijebu Ode.
"Professor Fassy Yusuf is not from the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, His continued claim to the position of Deputy Olori Ebi has caused significant uproar within the community and has brought disrespect to the royal lineage of the Fusengbuwa family." Otunba Ajidagba Stated.

He further warned that if Professor Yusuf continues to present himself as a member of the family, it could create division within the ruling house and jeopardize its chances of producing the next Awujale of Ijebuland.
"Such actions could mislead the public into believing he is a legitimate member of the Fusengbuwa family, This opens the door for non-family members to make false claims to royal titles within the recognized ruling houses of Ijebu Land." He added.
Otunba Ajidagba therefore urged Professor Fassy Yusuf to cease and desist from parading himself as a member of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House.
According to court documents, the hearing of the application is scheduled for September 30, 2025, at Court 3, Ijebu Ode High Court.
