Recall that Legit.ng reported that as many Nigerians continue to lament the killing of Oba Isreal Adeusi, traditional rulers in Ondo declared that touching a monarch is wrong and murdering such person is a taboo in Yoruba land.
The monarchs who lamented the murder of their colleague said every normal person must condemn the evil.
According to the chairman of Ondo state Council of Obas, His Majesty, Oba Dr. Frederick Akinruntan, it is an unfortunate development.
Legit.ng had reported about the murder of the Olufon of Ifon in Ose local government area Ondo state. He was killed by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.
Barely 24 hours after the traditional monarch was murdered, suspected kidnappers abducted wife of the chief of staff to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Olugbenga Alex.
The government official's wife was kidnapped by the gunmen on Thursday, November 26, at Owena area of the state.
