Hoodlums Set Ogun Monarch's Palace On Fire
Pandemonium broke out in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State when suspected hoodlums, Wednesday, set the palace of the Olofin of Ado-Odo, Oba Lateef Adeniran, on fire.
Vanguard gathered that a portion of the palace located in Isale Ado area of the Awori town had earlier been razed following last April violence that rocked the town.
Some hoodlums stormed the monarch’s palace last April during which they set the ground floor of the palace on fire before stripping Oba Adeniran and his wife, Olori Fausat, Unclad.
Consequently, the state government set up a commission of inquiry which gave the monarch a clean bill of health and asked him to continue his obaship.
It was, however, gathered that the hoodlums stormed the palace again, Wednesday, to carried out the latest arson.
Vanguard’s findings show that the monarch had been living in exile in Abeokuta since last April following the conclusion of the sitting of the commission of inquiry set up by the state government to look into the crisis.
Confirming the incident, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi said the source of the fire could not be immediately established.
He said the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, had ordered the state Criminal Investigations Department to embark on a thorough investigation to know the real cause of the fire.
