An angry mob attacked the palace of the Oba of Lagos,ObaRilwanu Akiolu,and carted away personal belongings including his staff of office on Wednesday morning.
Confirming the development to PREMIUM TIMES, the personal assistant to the monarch, Deoye Olumegbon, said a team of soldiers in about five vehicles had responded to a distress call and whisked Mr Akiolu away.
“Kabiyesi is safe. Soldiers came to rescue him. But thugs have vandalised and looted the palace. No one is dead but they carted away valuable properties,” Mr Olumegbon, a prince from the Olumegbon royal family, told our reporter on the phone.
