Ogun Police Explain Deployment at Awujale Palace, Deny Siege Reports

Ogun State Police say officers were deployed to the Awujale Palace in Ijebu-Ode as a preventive security measure. The command denied reports that the palace was under siege by thugs and said an Assistant Commissioner of Police was assigned to coordinate the operation. Police also said a person was questioned after being invited over allegations in a written petition. The person was released on self-recognisance while investigations continue. The command urged the public to stay calm and avoid sharing unverified reports. The Awujale stool became vacant in July 2025 after the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona, who reigned for 65 years.
