#EndSARS: Oba of Lagos ‘dragged’ Over Sum of Money Allegedly Stolen From His Palace

Following a comment made by Oba Rilwan Akinolu of Lagos over the invasion of his Palace by some hoodlums during the #EndSARS protest, Some Nigerians have taken to the social media to “drag” the king in regard to the alleged theft of $2 million and N17 million by the invaders.

Akinolu, who spoke at the Glover Hall Memorial Commissioning, Lagos on Wednesday, lamented the devastation inflicted on Lagos by the protesters, including his palace.

”I will support anything that will move Lagos forward. I have appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos with what we have suffered. The incident that happened here from October 20th to 23rd is so saddening.

“The destruction we suffered in Lagos is so enormous than in any other part of the country.

“Many buildings were burnt, including vehicles used to generate income. I can now say publicly that they stole away from my palace $2 million and N17 million.

“Those who committed the offence would not have done that if they knew the implication. But as a father, I won’t place any curse on them.” the Oba said

The monarch has however been under serious attack on social media as some Nigerians have expressed shock he had that amount of money in his palace. While others called on the EFCC to investigate the monarch, others accused him of being ”wicked ”to have kept such a huge sum of money in his palace while members of his immediate community live in hunger.
