The Aiyetoro community, a riverine town in Ilaje local government area of Ondo state, has been thrown into fear following the sudden disappearance of its monarch, Oba Oluwambe Ojagbohunmi, the Ogeloyinbo of Aiyetoro.

Legit.ng gathers that Ogeloyinbo of Aiyetoro had left for a security meeting in Igbokoda, the headquarters of the council, upon the invitation Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state

Briefing journalist on the unfortunate incident in Akure on Wednesday, January 16, the principal secretary of the community, Ademolu Atimishe, accused government of having hand on the monarch's disappearance.

He added that over the recent time, the community has been thrown into kingship tussle since the demise of fifth king in the community, Ogeloyinbo, Oba Asogbon Gad, who died in February 2015.

He said: “Although, the letter came pretty late at about 11.40am dated January 8, the meeting, as stated in the letter, was to be held at 1pm. Nevertheless, as our tradition dictates, during the week of our Founders’ Day Anniversary, the king is not to step out of the community.

"However, four members of the Supreme Council of Elders of Aiyetoro were sent to represent the monarch but they were denied access to the venue of the meeting.

“As a result of this, the meeting, in agreement with the chairman, Ilaje local government and security committee (the police, navy and army), was re-scheduled to Monday, January 14, by 12pm."

“Being a peace-loving person, Oba Ojagbohunmi left Aiyetoro to attend the re-scheduled meeting at the Naval officers mess, Igbokoda. No meeting held as scheduled because the other party involved did not honour the invitation.”

On the the cultural implication of the monarch's disappearance, Atimishe said: "This is against the culture and tradition of our land, it is a taboo for the king to be missing for more than two days without an inkling of his whereabouts, especially this period when it is customarily forbidden for the monarch to leave the palace."
