It was gathered that the thugs broke into the palace situated at Lagos Island despite the presence of soldiers and started stealing and vandalising property.
The Oba’s traditional staff of office (opa Ase) was also stolen in the fracas. The staff of office is the symbol of authority of the monarch.
