The suspended traditional ruler of Orile Ifo, Oba Abdulsemiu Ogunjobi, has been remanded at the Ilaro Correctional Centre in Ogun State after failing to meet his bail conditions.
Ogunjobi was arraigned by the Ogun State Police Command on Tuesday following a viral video showing him assaulting a 73-year-old man, Abraham Areola.
The court charged the monarch with conspiracy, assault, and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace. Although he was granted bail with two sureties, each required to provide N5 million, he remains in custody due to his inability to meet the conditions.
The case has been adjourned to March 6 for a hearing. Meanwhile, civil society groups have commended the government for suspending Ogunjobi and are calling for his full prosecution.
