Following the recent assault on the Olu of Igbokoda, Oba Afolabi Odidiomo by some thugs in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, traditional rulers in the state have urged the police to prosecute those behind the assault.The monarchs, under the auspices of 130 Crowns Club, described the attack as an abomination and indication that government no longer treats the royal stool with esteem. They lamented the failure of security agencies to arrest and prosecute the thugs who assaulted Odidiomo and inflicted him with serious bodily injury, saying it was highly downgrading for the monarchs.
According to them, the leader of the suspected hoodlums, one Iwatan and his gang members were still walking freely in the state after they had been allegedly identified to be responsible for the attack. Iwatan was allegedly accused of leading some suspected hoodlums to attack the monarch where he was having a meeting in Igbokoda, headquarters of Ilaje Council two weeks ago.
