The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has said that $2 million and N17 million were stolen when youths attacked his palace hours after soldiers opened live ammunition on #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Plaza.
He made this statement Wednesday during the commissioning of the Glover hall Memorial in Lagos, adding that those who attacked his palace were ignorant of the implication of what they did.
“I will support anything that will move Lagos forward”, he said further. “I have appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos with what we have suffered. We host many people here, not Lagosian alone. The incident that happened here from October 20th to 23rd is so saddening.
“The destruction we suffered in Lagos is so enormous that in any other part of the country.
“Many buildings were burnt, including vehicles used to generate income. I can now say publicly that they stole from my palace $2 million and N17 million.
“Those who committed the offence would not have done that if they know the implication. But as a father, I won’t place any curse on them”
