The traditional ruler, Kabiyesi Abdulsemiu Ogunjobi, who was captured in a viral video assaulting an elderly man in Ifo, Ogun State, has been arraigned in court today on a three-count charge. The charges include conspiracy, assault, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
The incident, which sparked widespread outrage on social media, led to swift action by the police. Ogunjobi was granted bail by the court, and the case has been adjourned to March 6, 2025, for further hearing.
In a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, the police reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the rule of law and the core values of the profession. “The Nigeria Police Force will continue to ensure justice is served and that such acts of violence are not tolerated,” Adejobi stated.
The case has drawn significant public attention, with many calling for accountability and justice for the victim. Further updates are expected as the legal proceedings continue.
