The Alaagba of Aagba, Oba Rufus
Ogunwole, narrowly escaped death as
hoodlums invaded his palace and vandalised
the building before destroying vehicles
parked within the premises among other
important items.
Our correspondent gathered that the
hoodlums first stormed the palace on
Wednesday evening and went back later
after destroying some valuables.
Not satisfied with the level of destruction
at their first attempt, the miscreants, who
were identified to be operating under the
name of ‘Odo Oru’, which literally means
night youths, returned to complete the
destruction of the palace.
The youths, according to a palace source,
carted away a crown, beaded walking stick
and other paraphernalia of office of the
monarch before they went away.
It was learnt that the attack on the palace
and some other places inside the town had
political undertone.
Armed security personnel have beefed up
security in the town and normalcy has since
restored in the troubled community.
vehicles, including one Toyota Venza, and
Toyota Camry were completely destroyed
while several beaded crowns and staff were
also carted away.
Houses of some chiefs in the community,
including the residence of Eesa of Aagba,
Chief James Bamigbola, were attacked and
his car was also vandalised. .
A resident of the town who identified
himself as Oluseye Aborisade, told our
correspondent that the monarch was
believed to be a leader of the Peoples
Democratic Party, saying that was why he
was attacked.
The Commissioner of Police in charge of
election in Osun State, Mr. Sam Okaula,
confirmed the incident in a telephone
interview with our correspondent.
Okaula said 10 suspects had been arrested
in connection with the violence, adding that
they would be charged to court if found
culpable.
