The monarch was unlucky as they forcibly stopped the jeep conveying him and dragged him out of the vehicle  before they  started beating him  and then striped him naked.

According to findings, Oba Adeniran  is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital in Abeokuta, the state capital for the injuries he sustained on his head and other parts of the body.

Vanguard learnt that,the monarch’s  wives, children of the monarch and the palace staff were said to have sustained  some degrees of injuries  during the riot.

A reliable source  who pleaded anonymity told Vanguard that the rioters had earlier in the day went  to the palace to challenge the monarch for not visiting the accident victim since the incident occurred few days ago.

According to the  source , though the Kabiyesi was not in the palace as at the time the rioters visited, but, several cars packed at the palace garage were destroyed.

“It was on his way from Ilaro that some of the rioters saw him, beat him blue black  and tore his garment   before he luckily escaped  by the whiskers from being brutally injured”.
