The Ogun State government has vowed to investigate a disturbing viral video that appears to show the Oloorile of Orile Ifo, Oba Semiu Ogunjobi, subjecting Chief Arinola Abraham Love to dehumanizing treatment. The two-minute clip shows Chief Arinola kneeling on the road while being cursed, slapped, and verbally abused by the monarch and his accomplices.According to reports, the incident stemmed from a kingship supremacy dispute, with the monarch allegedly taking offense at Chief Arinola’s perceived support for a coronet Oba named Wasiu. The monarch’s actions have been widely condemned, with Governor Dapo Abiodun’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, describing the act as “inappropriate and inhumane”. The Ogun State government has promised to take necessary action if the allegations are proven true. Governor Abiodun’s Special Assistant on New Media, Emmanuel Ojo, emphasized that disputes among traditional leaders should be handled in a more civilized manner, and that resorting to force, assault, and public humiliation is unacceptable.
