Hoodlums on Sunday October 11, 2020, attacked the Minister of Sports and Development, Sunday Dare, Soun of Ogbomoso, his families and chiefs in the royal palace, while holding Traditional Council and Ogbomoso Parapo meeting .
The minister disclosed this in his twitter handle.
Dare tweeted: “The hoodlums attacked the Soun’s palace in Ogbomoso by throwing stones and other objects into the palace before they forcefully gained entrance into the palace.”
But it was gathered that security operatives with the minister rescued, the monarch, his wife, chiefs, journalists and others who were at the meeting without firing smudging.
The hoodlums, who hijacked the ongoing, EndSARS protest, brought in a dead body to the palace.
It was gathered that they demanded that the monarch should come out, which is a taboo, according to one of the palace assistants.
The minister, who was with only few security operatives, ordered them not to shoot or bring out their gun as it would only escalate things.
However, the Police Area Commander provided external security, who dispersed the hoodlums, who already vandalised, looted the ancient palace and damaged several vehicles.
