The people stated that the monarch who left the coastal community on Monday to attend a security meeting in Igbokoda, headquarters of the council, has not returned to the community since then. Speaking on behalf of the Supreme Council of Elders, the Principal Secretary of the community, Mr Ademolu Atimishe, said Ojagbohunmi had been away for two nights without any traces of his whereabouts. Atimishe explained that the monarch received a letter of invitation from the state government through the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the council, Mr Atikase Otito, for a council security meeting. You are therefore invited to attend the meeting.”Atimishe however, explained that the invitation came at a time when the entire community was celebrating its 72nd Founder’s Anniversary, which forbids the king from moving outside the community. Nevertheless, as our tradition dictates, during the week of our Founders’ Day Anniversary, the king is not to step out of the community.
