A solicitor from the United Kingdom named Prince Kamaldeen Giwa will assume the role of Mogaji for the Aliiwo Royal Family on Monday.
The installation ritual will take place under the direction of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, at his residence located in Oke-Aremo, Ibadan.
After the demise of the former Olubadan, Oba Olalekan Balogun, Ali-Okunmade II, Prince Giwa will take over as the leader of the Aliiwo Royal Family.
The latest Mogaji is the 10th individual to arise from the royal lineage since 1877, when Amodu Ejalonibu initially took up the title of Mogaji-Agba within the family.
The gathering on Monday will see the participation of descendants of Aliiwo both local and those from the Diaspora.
A welcome ceremony for the newly appointed Mogaji will be held afterwards at the Aliwo Palace located at Agodi Gate, Ibadan.
