Monarch Escapes From Palace After Subjects Revolted His Against His PDP Membership

The Alaagba of Aagba, Oba Rufus Ogunwole, narrowly escaped death as hoodlums stormed his palace on Wednesday evening and caused the destruction of the palace.

The youths, according to a palace source, carted away the royal crown, staff of office, beaded walking stick and other paraphernalia of office of  the monarch before they left.

Several vehicles, including one Toyota Venza, and Toyota Camry were completely destroyed.

Houses of some chiefs in the community, including the residence  of Eesa of Aagba, Chief James Bamigbola, were  attacked and his car was also vandalised.
Oluseye Aborisade, a resident of the town, told reporters that the monarch was believed to be a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, saying that was why he was attacked.

The Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mr. Sam Okaula, confirmed the incident in a telephone interview with a reporter.

Okaula said 10 suspects had been arrested in connection with the violence, adding that they would be charged to court if found culpable
