An Osun State traditional ruler, the Ajeniju of Halleluyah, Oba Jelili Olaiya has disclosed that youth that laid siege on his palace beat him in the presence of security operatives.
The monarch was beaten by some youths who were angry over his decision to appoint a Chief Imam for the community, thereby vandalizing his palace and disrupting the jumat service.
While speaking with newsmen on the attack, Olaiya said security operatives had visited him earlier last Friday to inquire about the incident and after briefing the officers at his palace, a reinforcement was deployed to his palace to curb any ugly incident.
However, at about 11am, the monarch stated, some hoodlums invaded his palace which is being used as a makeshift mosque and unleashed chaos.
“The place where the Ajeniju installed an Imam is not on Ido-Osun land. It is in front of my palace. I didn’t install an Imam on Ido-Osun land. The installation was done in front of my place where we also observed the Jumat prayer that day.
“The newly installed Imam had already led one Jumat prayer for us. It was during the following Friday when we were preparing for the Jumat around 11:00 a.m. that the hoodlums came around. That day, some officers came to my palace before those thugs arrived.
“The officers said it was the Divisional Police Officer in Ido-Osun who sent them. Later, the DPO came around and told me he was hearing rumours that I installed an Imam and built a new mosque.
“I told him we didn’t build a new mosque and that we had our Jumat prayer in front of my palace. He said the Chief Imam of Ido-Osun complained that we ought to have come to him for approval, and I replied to the DPO that I was not on Ido-Osun’s land.
“The police were there when we were attacked. The police officers were from Ido-Osun and the state Anti-Kidnapping units, as well as officers from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, numbering about 18.”
Efforts to get the security operatives to react proved abortive as the spokesperson for both outfits, Yemisi Opalola, (police) and Kehinde Adeleke (NSCDC), could not be reached on their phones.
