CITIZENS COMPASS – The Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday, charged Oba Abdulsemiu Adewale Ogunjobi, the Olorile of Orile-Ifo, to court for assaulting a man in a viral video.
Citizens Compass reported that video went viral over the weekend, wherein a man knelt down by the roadside facing molestation from a man perceived to be the traditional ruler.
Force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in various posts on his social media handles.
He said, “The Kabiyesi Abdulsemiu Ogunjobi, who assaulted one elderly man in a viral video, in Ifo Ogun State, has been charged to court today 4th February, 2025, on three-count charge of conspiracy, assault and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
“He was granted bail while the case was adjourned to 06/03/2025. The Police will continue to uphold the rule of law and the core values of the noble profession”.
Citizens Compass reported that the state government had given the monarch six months suspension for assaulting the man.
The decision to suspend the monarch was made when the Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, invited the monarch and his victim for interrogation.
The monarch was later suspended to serve as a deterrent to others.
Not only this, he was barred from parading himself as the Olorile-Ifo, pending the outcome of the investigation.
Meanwhile, the monarch has been invited by the Police.
The monarch was reported to be a retired police officer, boasting about his influence over the Nigeria Police and threatening to send the chief to jail without consequences.
