The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, angrily left the Lekan Salami Sports Complex on Wednesday evening after security operatives deployed at the entrance of the newly remodelled stadium prevented both access .
The octogenarian Alaafin of Oyo and nonagenarian Olubadan of Ibadan were made to wait for almost 30 minutes as the security agents at the gate were said to have insisted that just one of the aides would be allowed to go in with each of the monarchs.
Eyewitnesses said there was pushing and shouting at the gate and the monarchs left the venue in annoyance.
The spokesman for the Olubadan, Chief Adeola Oloko, when was contacted on the telephone, confirmed the shabby treatment of the security operatives to the royal fathers
Responding to the inquiry, Oloko said, “Very true despite having the entry requirements.”
Oloko said the monarch did not have anything against Governor Seyi Makinde, who he said, did a wonderful job but blamed the overzealous security agents for what he called lack of discretion.
The spokesman for the Alaafin, Bode Durojaye, also confirmed the incident to journalists on the telephone.
He said, “Overzealousness of the security agents there prevented the Alaafin from entering. I did not go but I have just being briefed.”
