It was a serious pandemonium this morning as hoodlums believed to be loyal to the Oyo State Government Stormed Olubadan of Ibadanland Oba Saliu Adetunji's palace, to disrupt the monarch's plans of installing some Baales in Ibadan.
According to the information available to us, former Secretary to the State Government, and Sarafadeen Abiodun Alli and some other notable personalities, who had gone on solidarity visit to Olubadan when the incident happened, escaped gun shots fired by the said hoodlums. They were to have been shot at directly. Sarafadeen we gathered was sitting at the back of his Black Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep with registration number (EPE447ER) when they opened fired on the vehicle. Bullets however penetrated the backside screen but Alli escaped.
Reacting to the incident, through a phone call, Barr. Alli said he is not accusing anyone but felt those against Olubadan's move to install some Baales must be behind the attack. "I have no one in mind but those people against Olubadan's plan to install some Baales must definitely be behind the attack", Alli submitted.
It will be recalled that the Olubadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji Aje Ogunguniso 1and the state's governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi have been on loggerheads for sometimes now, their feud is based on the 1959 Olubadan chieftaincy declaration, which was recently reviewed by the state government. This obviously didn't go down well with Olubadan and his loyalists.
