Deities beat Osun monarch, not youths, Osun community claims
The Ido-Osun community in Egbedore local government area of Osun State has said that the Ajeniju of Hallelujah, Oba Jelil Olaiya, was beaten up by deities not youths of the community.
TrackNews Media reports that the monarch was beaten to a pulp by youths from the Ido-Osun community while holding Jumat service on a controversial land.
Speaking during a press briefing held at the palace on Friday, ex-lawmaker, Abiodun Awolola claims that they are customary tenants of Ede town, saying: “We have a longstanding history that predated the existence of Ede.
“After the demise of our late Oba Dr. Aderemi Adedapo, the 46th Olojudo Alayemore of Ido-Osun Kingdom, petitions were written to challenge the clandestine appointment of Ajeniju on Ido-Osun land tagging the area as Hallelujah town it is alien.”
The Grand Patron of the Ido Advisory Council, Gbadebo Ajao, said: “About the dump site where they build their palace, Governor Aregbesola came to request the land from us for the dump site. We are the owner of the land so compensation was made to the people of this community.
