Youths Beat Osun Monarch To A Pulp For Appointing Imam

There was crisis in Hallelujah community in Egbedore local government area of Osun State on Friday, as enraged residents beat the newly installed Ajeniju of Hallelujah, Oba Jelili Olaiya while attempting to observed the jumat service in the area.


The angry youth beat the monarch who was installed by the Timi of Ede a few months ago to a pulp.

They claimed the monarch had no right to install a chief Imam in the community.

It was gathered that the monarch had last week turbaned one Ahmad Tijjani as Chief Imam of the Hallelujah community, but while gathering some people at his palace to observe jumat prayer, some youth allegedly from Ido-Osun invaded the palace and disrupted the exercise.

Some of the aggrieved youths while shouting at the monarch queried his authority to install and conduct jumat prayer in a domain belonging to a separate monarch.

The mob beat the monarch seriously and vandalised the palace before security operatives could intervene in the situation.

A security source who pleaded anonymity disclosed that it took the intervention of security operatives to rescue the monarch from the scene.

“The situation escalated, resulting in the vandalization of the palace and a physical attack on Ajenifuja of Hallelujah, who sustained serious injuries. He has since been taken to the State CID for further investigation and safety”, said the source.


However, another source in the community disclosed that the monarch has been taken to the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo for treatment.

Confirming the incident, the Special Adviser to Governor Ademola Adeleke on Security, Hon. Samuel Ojo said he will not comment on the incident pending the outcome of an investigation on the matter.

Don't know which is more pathetic, the youths who have no respect for their own traditional rulers, or the traditional ruler who has no respect for the sanctity of the office he occupies.

Looks like youths in Yorubaland are beginning to drop that fake respect culture of their forefathers and are growing the balls to look their elders in the eye and speak truth to them

You don't get it. See the name of the community. Timi of Ede, a Muslim must have imposed a Muslim duke on the community against their wish. Certain undesirable elements have been clamouring to destabilize the peace in Oyo and Osun states of Yoruba land.

When bastards are growing, problems will be escalating. I guess that community was a growing one in the area, possibly like a Redeemed camp, or Canaan land) Ọta.
Wahala is doing press up there.
