Iyin-Ekiti, Ekiti State — August 13, 2026: The family of the late George Adefemi Ojo has clarified the status of his property, known as the George Adefemi Ojo House in Iyin-Ekiti, amid reports and rumours concerning its ownership and alleged transfer to the Oluyin Palace.

In a statement signed by George-Ojo Ayomide, on behalf of the family, the family maintained that the property is not for sale and has neither been ceded, transferred nor released to the Oluyin Palace.
