Youths Chase Away “BORN-AGAIN” King For Shunning Traditional OGUN Festival, Ondo



Youths of Ogbagi-Akoko, in Akoko South-West LGA of Ondo State last Friday [Nov. 2] chased away their monarch, the Owa of Ogbagi, Oba Victor Adetona, from the palace for his refusal to approve the yearly celebration of the “Ogun festival”.



According to PUNCH’s report, the monarch, narrowly escaped being lynched when the youths, armed with dangerous items, besieged the palace. The youths, it was learnt, damaged vehicles and decorations in the palace said to be worth millions of naira.

Some of the youths, who craved anonymity, told PUNCH on Monday that Adetona had been disrespecting the town’s traditions since he was installed as the monarch.
