Chieftaincy succession wars

Ewi of Ado-Ekiti succession (1988, 2010–2014)#

Multiple Supreme Court contests between the Aroloye, Atewogboye and Adewumi ruling houses; the 2010–2014 dispute around Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe (Aladesanmi III) required Federal High Court intervention.

Ogoga of Ikere succession (1999–2002)#

Litigation between the Aguloye, Ulamoye and Odundun houses; resolved in favour of Oba Adejimi Alagbado.

Olojudo of Ido-Ekiti (2007–2018) and Oore of Otun-Ekiti (2014–2020)#

Long-running disputes reaching the Supreme Court more than once — Ekiti is among the most-litigated chieftaincy jurisdictions in Nigeria.
