Thugs on Wednesday stormed the
Palace of the Oba of Lagos located at Iga Idugaran, Lagos Island, vandalising
vehicles and carting away several artefacts.
In a video which has gone viral
on the Internet, the thugs are seen making away with the staff of office
commonly referred to as ‘Opa Ase’.
A resident of Lagos Island disclosed that the thugs who invaded the palace were the same ones who set the
family home of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu ablaze.
“When the thugs went to attack
Sanwo-Olu’s father’s home, some of them were shot by the police. This
infuriated them and they were able to engage the police in a gun duel and
overpower them. The policemen, who are attached to the Adeniji Adele Police
Station, quickly made a retreat.
“The angry youths made their way
to the Palace of the Oba of Lagos. They claim the king is part of the
government. The thugs have only been attacking government institutions,” he
said.
