Isara Remo, Ogun State — On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, His Royal Highness, Alayeluwa Oba Peter Oluwole Ogunbayo, Otete III, the 38th Odemo of Isara Remo, proudly installed High Chief Tajudeen Babatunde Kolapo, affectionately known as Ajalenkoko, as the new Apena of Isara Remo in the Remo North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The traditional chieftaincy installation ceremony took place at Iledi Osugbo, Isara Remo, surrounded by royal fathers, traditional chiefs, community leaders, family members of the new Apena, and other esteemed guests.

This important position of Apena became vacant after the passing of the former holder, the late Chief Joseph Olufemi Soyombo, who left us in 2025.

During the installation, Oba Peter Oluwole Ogunbayo extended his heartfelt congratulations to High Chief Tajudeen Babatunde Kolapo and his family, offering royal prayers and blessings for a successful tenure as Apena.

The monarch encouraged the new Apena to uphold values of steadfastness, truthfulness, honesty, commitment, and loyalty to both the traditional institution and the people of Isara Remo.

Oba Ogunbayo also urged him to focus on the progress, unity, and socio-cultural development of Isara Remo, while advising him to embody the admirable qualities of his predecessor, especially loyalty, faithfulness, dedication, and a strong commitment to preserving and advancing the rich culture and traditions of Isara Remo.

The ceremony was filled with special prayers, inspiring royal speeches, cultural dances, and moments of homage to the royal fathers.

Notable royal prayers for the new Apena were offered by Oba Mukaila Akanji Olabinjo, Eleposo of Eposo Remo; Oba Dr. Raheem Adimula Afolabi Ogunlaja, Nloku of Iraye Remo; and Olori Abimbola Ogunbayo.

The traditional installation also welcomed Olori Abimbola Ogunbayo and her friend, Mrs. Magret Omosebi, among the distinguished attendees.

Among the esteemed traditional rulers and dignitaries in attendance were Oba Mukaila Akanji Olabinjo, the Eleposo of Eposo; Oba Dr. Adimula, the Nloku of Iraye Remo; High Chief Efuwape Olatunji, the Araba of Isara Remo; High Chief Taiwo Sodade, the Oluwo of Isara Remo; High Chief S. M. Sorinola, the Oluwo of Ipara Remo; High Chief Adeyemi Opadipe, the Lisa of Ipara Remo; High Chief Olatunji Solaja, the Lisa of Ipoji, Sagamu; High Chief Waheed Adebowale, the Aro Ilugun-Asalu from Abeokuta; Chief Taiwo Awerigbola, the Oba-Isegun of Isara Remo; and Omo'ba (Alhaji) Abdulateef Owoyemi, the Head of the Funsegbuwa Ruling House in Ijebuland.

Also joining the celebration were Aare N. Adesoye Sobowale, Prince Adeniyi Akisanya, Hon. Adesoye Oyekan, Prince Yinka Soyemi, Hon. Tunde Sowale, and Hon. Kazeem Sobajo, along with various traditional chiefs, Baales, Olorituns, and other community members.

The event was skillfully hosted by High Chief Efuwape Olatunji, the Araba of Isara Remo.

The installation of High Chief Tajudeen Babatunde Kolapo as Apena signifies an exciting new chapter in the traditional leadership of Isara Remo, as he takes on the important role of serving the community and helping to uphold its rich cultural heritage and traditions.
