Jubilation As Olofin Of Ado-Odo, Oba Lateef Adeniran Returns To His Palace Seven Years After He Was Stripped, Beaten

 

 

 

There was jubilation among residents of Ado-Odo as the traditional ruler, Olofin of Ado-Odo, Oba Lateef Adeniran rode into the ancient town in a convoy led by security agents after seven years in exile.

The monarch was also accompanied back home by some of his fellow monarchs.

Recall that Oba Adeniran was in April 2013 attacked by some angry youths in his domain.

The royal father was in his SUV when he was flagged down by the youths.

He was beaten and stripped by the people, who were said to have earlier invaded his palace to vandalize cars and torch his house.

It was gathered that the youths at the time were protesting a Supreme Court judgment of January 12, 2009, which validated Adeniran’s appointment as the Oba of Ado-Odo, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government area of Ogun State.

Since then, the first-class Oba had been living in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, even as he attends to issues that have to do with the stool.

But, on Sunday, December 20, the Olofin returned to Ado-Odo amidst pomp and pageantry as his subjects trooped out to receive him.
