Jalingo — The Olunisa of Inisa in Odo-Otin Local Government Area of Osun State, Oba Joseph Oladunjoye Oyedele Fasikun II (JP), has commended the Paramount Ruler of the Jukun people and head of the Kwararafa Kingdom, HRH Manu Ishaku Adda Ali, the Aku-Uka of Wukari, for conferring the prestigious title of Hocho of the Jukun Kingdom on High Chief Adi Pajo.

In a statement issued through Chief Afolabi Babatunde, the monarch noted that High Chief Pajo’s humanitarian contributions have earned him widespread respect and recognition.

Oba Fasikun II said the honour did not come as a surprise, describing Pajo as a compassionate philanthropist whose impact extends beyond his immediate community and state.

He expressed confidence that the new title would inspire even greater service, adding that it would further strengthen cultural and communal ties between the Inisa and Jukun kingdoms.

High Chief Pajo also holds the title of Bobaselu of Inisa.

Similarly, the Inisa Descendants Union (IDU), led by Prof. Olatunde Babawale, described the recognition as well deserved and reflective of Pajo’s longstanding commitment to humanitarian service.

The union congratulated the newly installed Hocho of the Jukun Kingdom and wished him good health, wisdom, and continued strength to sustain his contributions to society.
