    The traditional ruler of Samora in Irepodun local government area of Kwara state, Oba Matthew Idowu Ajiboye, was arraigned at an Ilorin Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday for allegedly leading some hoodlums to attack the Oloba of Eju Land, Alhaji Maroof Afolayan Adebayo in his palace also in Irepodun local government area of the state.

    The police First Information Report (FIR) stated that Oba Ajiboye with five others; Tijani Musibau, Kuburat Sodiku, Afolayan Sukiru, Usman Raufu, Tunde Arinwoye and Saheed Bello who is now at large, attacked Oloba and his family with dangerous weapons.

    The prosecutor, Ojo Oluwaseun informed the court that there is ongoing investigation on the matter and sought for an adjournment.
