#ENDSARS : Youths Stole $2 Million and N17 Million From My Palace ~ Oba Rilwan Akiolu.
During the Endsars protest in Lagos, some hoodlums vandalized the palace of the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akinolu located at Iga Idugaran, Lagos Island.
Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has said that $2 million and N17 million were stolen from his palace during the attack.
Akiolu, who spoke on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Glover Hall Memorial in Lagos, said he had avoided counting losses from the attack in public.
The monarch said those who attacked his palace were ignorant of the implication of what they did.
He said, “I will support anything that will move Lagos forward. I have appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos with what we have suffered. The incident that happened here from October 20th to 23rd is so saddening.
“The destruction we suffered in Lagos is so enormous than 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 away from my palace $2 million and N17 million.
“Those who committed the offence would not have done that if they knew the implication. But as a father, I won’t place any curse on them.”
