A man reported to be mentally unstable has stabbed a monarch to death in Ekiti state.

Odo-Oro-Ekiti, a community in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti state, was thrown into mourning as its traditional ruler, Oba Gbadebo Ogunsakin, was stabbed to death earlier today.

Some residents, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the traditional ruler was stabbed with a knife by a man suspected to be insane after a meeting of the traditional council.

A resident of the community, Mr Henry Olu, said the assailant was from the same royal family as the slain traditional ruler.

Olu said the assailant was earlier seen before the council meeting sitting on the throne and was chased away.

The monarch was stabbed by the assailant while he was attempting to enter his vehicle after the council meeting.

Another resident, who did not want his name mentioned, said:

”All we heard was a cry for help from the traditional ruler’s driver shortly after the council meeting.

“On getting there, we saw our traditional ruler in a pool of his blood with a knife in the chest.

”We tried rushing him to the hospital, but Oba Ogunsakin gave up the ghost.”

Rest in peace Oba.

Many years ago, our traditional rulers were very fortified and mere knives will not enter their bodies.

Traditional rulers of these days were not chosen by the Oracles, but by the political parties they belong to and that is why they are no longer revered.

This year alone, the Oba of Benin has been to Abuja 3 times looking for contracts,and yet the myopic people of that place will say oba no dey go transfer.

Ooni of Ife wants to make the Ooni seat irrelevant by all means,and is going from one owambe to another.

Emir of Kano is busy acting like a baseless crusader,fighting for only what he knows about. And Oba of Lagos only lives to threaten the Ibo people,with swimming in the Lagoon.

In the East,98.9% of their traditional rulers are retired and present 419ers and drug dealers. And we wonder why a common knife can kill this man?

This is the true meaning of the proverb : who the gods wants to kill, they first make mad!

How did the mentally unstable man gain access to oba? What happened to the oba's guards?

Uhmm...can we get the full story before we blame the innocent mad man

But they told us Yoluba king have jazz and knife and gun can't penetrate...

na dis one I nor wan hear

Sounds like The gods are not to blame by Ola Rotimi

That man is mentally stable.

Horrible way to die..

Either he is really unstable or someone influenced him to kill him due to power tussle.

Are you sure he's insane? He may be sent by some people eyeing the throne so as to make another ascend the throne.

Hmm

Apart from aiding and abetting corrupt politicians... What other thing is the function and duty of our Traditional Rulers in this democratic set up ?

Ask something !!!

No smoke without fire

I opened the thread to see the mentally unstable man

Fayose !!!
Where are you oooo. You must answer to this is else ?

Hmmmm

RIP

Who knows maybe the monarch has a hand in his insanity.

RIP if you are pure, if not i wish you otherwise

Bigot. A Nigerian traditional ruler murdered, as simple as that.

From the story, it's vry clear he was killed wit black magic by some haters within his circle

Thought Kabiyesi suppose to be immune to all these. Where is the okigbe ? He should have just used those powers instead of this disgraceful death. Rest in peace Alayeluwa

How can ordinary knive kill a monarch?

Stop being a m0ron. A good number of Yoruba kings are Bible believing Christians just like me and you. Time and chance happens to everyone.

Oh

The gods must be crazy!!!!
