The King Kosoko Royal Family has announced veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Jide Kosoko, as the Oloja of Lagos-elect. Kosoko, 72, was formally presented as Oloja-elect at the King Kosoko Palace in Ereko, Lagos Island, in the presence of a large gathering of royal family members and well-wishers. The declaration was made by the Olori Ebi General of the King Kosoko Royal Family, Mrs Mutiat Ali-Balogun. The announcement comes amid an ongoing succession dispute within the wider King Kosoko Royal Dynasty. Following its work, the King Kosoko Royal Family reportedly directed the Akinsanya Olojo Ruling House to present a nominee in line with customary and chieftaincy laws.
