Police grill Osun monarch, Ataoja of Osogbo, over petition

The Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun Oyetunji was on Thursday grilled by the police over a petition purportedly by a co-monarch in Olorunda local government area.

There was rumpus in Osun State capital on Thursday over the whereabout of Ataoja with members of All Progressives Congress(APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) trading words over claims that Oba Oyetunji was arrested by the police.

But The Nation learnt that Oba Oyetunji was invited to Abuja by security operatives over a petition by a king under his domain relating to fund.
