An ogun monarch was beaten and stripped naked by angry youths

 Pandemonium broke out on Monday in Ado-Odo, Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State when some aggrieved residents of the town attacked the traditional ruler of the town, Oba Lateef Adeniran, and stripped him naked.
The rampaging residents also burnt down the monarch’s palace in the commotion that ensued when some aggrieved youths, opposed to his continued reign over the town, attacked him as he was being driven out of the town.
Our correspondent gathered that the monarch’s assailants, who were protesting the validation of his appointment by a Supreme Court judgment delivered on January 12, 2009, forcibly stopped the Sports Utility Van, conveying him, dragged him out of the vehicle and started beating him.
Oba Adeniran, who is the Olofin of Ado-Odo, was said to be receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Abeokuta, the state capital, for the injuries he sustained on his head and other parts of the body during the attack on him by the irate residents.
The wives and children of the monarch as well as palace staff, who escaped with some degrees of injuries, were also said to have been molested by the assailants.
Another source, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that the attack on the monarch was sparked off following an auto accident involving him and one of his rivals that could not be identified.
The source said the assailants had earlier gone to the palace to challenge the monarch for not visiting the accident victim since the incident occurred few days ago.
The source said though the monarch was not in the palace when the rioters first visited, they vandalised several vehicles parked within the premises.
“It was on his way from Ilaro that some of the rioters saw him and beat him black and blue and tore his garment. But luckily he escaped by the whiskers from being brutally injured,” a source said.
Confirming the incident, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the police had restored order to the town.
