Mad Man Stabs King To Death In Ekiti: Onise Of Odo Oro Ekiti Oba Gbadebo Ogunsakin Dies Of Stab Wounds
The quiet town of Odo Oro Ekiti has been thrown into a state of mourning after a mad man stabbed the traditional ruler, Onise of Odo Oro, Olowoselu 1, Oba Gbadebo Ogunsakin to death.
The incident which happened in Ikole LGA of Ekiti today led to a massive protest.
According to residents, the assailant who hails from the same royal family as the late monarch was earlier caught sitting on the throne shortly before a council meeting.
He was given a hot chase… Sadly, he returned to the place after the council meeting where he used a knife to stab the monarch on his chest.
The royal father gave up the ghost while he was been rushed to the hospital.
The suspect reportedly fled into the bush after killing the deceased who ascended the throne of his forefathers in 1986.

Haha! Isn’t an Oba supposed to be fortified with charms (“ajesara”) to prevent this kind of attack ? All he needed to do was speak with ase – command and the assailant will freeze. These traditional monarchies are fast losing their power and potency to modern age technology and religion. How dare anyone attack an Oba? Very sad indeed. May God console his bereaved family and subjects.

Except the Lord protects, no one can escape an attack no matter how strong you are in charms, weapons and soldiers!
May the soul of the departed rest in peace!
I am sorry to say this, many kings are so stingy nowadays that non of their subjects will be willing to guard them! If I may ask, where are the palace guards? Where are the palace traditional servants (Emese)? So sad!

There’s more to this. Oba’s hands might not be clean concerning the guy’s state of health. All the same rip.

This is what modernisation has caused, so there are no palace aides? Since the mad man hails from the same royal family as the late monarch I think there is more to it.

This is a strange occurrence. There is too much method In this madness and it should be properly investigated for ulterior motives.
For commentators advocating need for “this type of madness”, be careful what you wish for…. You or yours may one day climb the seat of power.
