The youths of the community who troupped out on Thursday morning against the traditional ruler of the town, Oba Adetutu Ajayi in their large numbers barricaded the major road leading to the community, carried placards and made bonfire to show their grievances.

The development prevented motorists from gaining access to the town and paralyzed commercial activities.

Speaking with Journalists, two of the youths, Mr Sunday Adekunle and Segun Mathew Orinle accused the monarch of the town of high handedness, corruption, converting the property of the town for his personal use, poor sense of judgement and bias.

They explained that the monarch also installed Chiefs based on sentiment and denied most of the High Chiefs their monthly entitlements.

According to them, they said, “Our Kabiyesi does not have interest in the development of the town but only concerned about his selfish interest”.

We have actually given an ultimatum to him to do the needful and give account of the town’s resources which lapsed on Wednesday.

“If this continues, it will lead to crisis in the town, hence the need for the protest to call on appropriate authority to prevail on the monarch to change his attitude for peace to reign.

Journalists who later made efforts to talk to the Kabiyesi in his palace were barred from gaining access to his palace.

Also, efforts made to talk to him on the phone were unsuccessful as at the time of filing this report.
