Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu has alleged hoodlums who attacked his palace on October 21, 2020 stole $2 million and N17 million.

Hoodlums attacked buildings in Lagos State a day after soldiers opened live ammunition on #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll plaza on October 20, 2020.

They vandalised vehicles and carted away artefacts located at Iga Idugaran, Lagos Island.

They also went away with the staff of office commonly referred and plundered the palace for two days.

Akiolu, who spoke on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Glover Hall Memorial in Lagos, said he had avoided counting losses from the attack in public.

The monarch, while lamenting that Lagos suffered “huge” destruction, said those who attacked his palace were ignorant of the implication of what they did.

He also appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos to recover from the destruction, saying the state suffered from the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest than any other states in the country.
According to him: “I will support anything that will move Lagos forward. I have appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos with what we have suffered. We host many people here, not Lagosians alone. The incident that happened here from October 20 to 23rd is so saddening.

“The destruction we suffered in Lagos is so enormous than in any other part of the country.

“Many buildings were burnt, including vehicles used to generate income. I can now say publicly that they stole away from my palace $2 million and N17 million.

“Those who committed the offence would not have done that if they know the implication. But as a father, I won’t place any curse on them.”

After the attack on Akiolu’s palace, some soldiers whisked the septuagenarian away.

The monarch returned to his palace over two months after he escaped from an attack on his palace.

Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu has alleged hoodlums who attacked his palace on October 21, 2020 stole $2 million and N17 million.

This is a self indictment on the part of the King and must be prosecuted for keeping such amount of foreign currency at home.

Atiku's lawyer and son were arrested and arraigned by EFCC for moving around with same amount and according to the charges by EFCC,
the amount exceeded the threshold stipulated by the anti-money laundering law.

And why the silence of the palliatives meant for Lagosians that were carted away by the real owners ?

Ole !

Olatunji1929:
weyrey where did you get $2m?

All the markets between Balogun and Obalende on. Lagos Island are in the Oba of Lagos domain

Traditionally amongst the Yorubas the Oba is the Owner of those Markets and gets a levy from all the business that goes on there

In the Old days the Oba of Lagos was called Olowo Eko which means the rich man of Lagos in Yoruba

In the days before Colonisation the Oba of Lagos got paid for every Ship that docked in Lagos Port

You are a thief. What are you doing with 2m usd at the Palace? Difficult to find a honest leader in Nigeria. They all lie a lot

SEE AS SMALL BOY HOLD "OBA" JAW??

TOMORROW THEM GO SAY ..IGBO DEY BEAT THEIR PAPA...BUT YORUBA GER RESPECT!!

Wiseandtrue:
[b]We now know those who benefitted from Tinubu's 2 bullion vans

Akiara:
SO THE OBA ...

BASED ON HIS USELESS TAXATION POLICIES ON "IGBO DOMINATED MARKETS" UNDER HIS SO CALLED DOMAIN...HAS LEGITIMATELY AMASSED $2million??...

ANYWA, THIS SUPPORTS THE NOTION THAT THOSE YOU "HATE" THE IGBOs, ACTUALLY FEED YOUR OBA AND THE OTHER MISCREANTS THAT LITTER THE MARKETS SHOUTING "OWO-MI-DA"

WHEN BIAFRA COMES...THE OBA WILL EAT "GRAVEL"...

CHAI.....SO IGBO PEOPLE GET MONEY LIKE THIS??

Lagos has no Business with Biafra
or is Lagos Igboland?

The Traditon of Yoruba Obas being the Owners of all Markets in their Domain is at least 1000 years Old.

Research it.

Ole Oba
Agbero Oba
Shameless Oba

Akiara:
I DONT DISPUTE THAT ...THE ISSUE HERE IS ...

THE PEOPLE YOU "CLAIM" HIJACKED THE "ENDSARS" PROTEST ARE THE SAME "PEOPLE" WHOM YOUR "LAZY" AND DSYFUNCTIONAL OBA ...TAXES FOR SURVIVAL...TO THE EXTENT HE WAS ABLE TO AMASS $2 MILLION...??

BIAFRA WILL DEFINITELY COME ...THEN THIS SAME "OBA" WILL JUMP INTO THE LAGOON TO GET HIS $2MILLION...

BY THE WAY ...HAVE YOU FINISHED YOUR "WATERY BEANS" DELICACY??

Not to be disrespectful but the Obas of Lagos were already booming in boomtown long before those you mentioned ever even knew there was a place called Lagos

This one has just indicted himself of Money laundering charges without knowing ...Your enemies have taken note and they will use it against you at the right time

So this man had such cash at home.
He should be charged for money laundering.

Oba of Lagos
