Baale of Shangisha suspended, read why

Chief Yusuf Ogundare

The baale of Shangisha in Magodo area of Lagos has been suspended by the governor of Lagos state Gov. Akinwumi Ambode for faking his own kidnap.


According to the reports, Ogundare had claimed that he was kidnapped along the centre for Management Development (CMD) Road in Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of the State on July 5, 2017.

According to Pulse, the suspension was communicated in a memo that reads

“I am directed to convey the approval of His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of the suspension of Chief Yusuf Ogundare, Baale of Shangisha with immediate effect in accordance with Section 38 subsection 1 of the Obas and Chiefs Laws of Lagos State which states that the Governor may suspend or depose any Oba or chief whether appointed or after commencement of this law, if he is satisfied that such suspension of disposition is required according to customary law or is necessary in the interest of peace and good government.“You are to communicate the decision to the chieftain to stop parading himself as Baale of Shangisha with immediate effect,”









This is really disgraceful for a chief who should stop crime to be found committing one
