The Ogun State government has described as sacrilegious and unfortunate the crisis that rocked the Ado Odo township in Ado Odo Local Government area of the state over the headship of the community
The state commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Muyiwa Oladipo while expressing the disappointment and regrets over the incident however said that a panel of inquiry would be set up to unravel the remote and immediate causes of the incident.
While asking the people of the area to continue to maintain peace and order, the commissioner also challenged the state council of Obas to continue to provide the necessary leadership that would promote peaceful co-existence in their domains.
There was mayhem on Monday in Ado-Odo when a traditional ruler, Oba Lateef Adeniran was attacked and stripped naked by some hoodlums who also set his house and cars ablaze.
The palace was also destroyed while his wives and children escaped being lynched by rampaging residents during the violence that ensued following a Supreme Court judgement.
It was gathered that the attackers were protesting the validation of his appointment by a Supreme Court judgement delivered in January 12, 2009.
The protesters forcibly stopped the jeep conveying the King and dragged him out of the vehicle before they started beating him and then striped him naked.
