A palace source said the gunmen gained access into the monarch’s inner chambers and terrorised him and his family members before whisking him away.

“When they came, they surrounded the building and started ordering the monarch and other occupants to open the door and surrender willingly, but nobody answered.

“At this point, they started shooting . They destroyed the main door and entered.

”They terrorised the Kabiyesi and his family members before dragging him out and took him away.

” None of the family members had been contacted, but we knew they were kidnappers,” the source said.

When contacted, the police spokesperson, Funmi Odunlami, confirmed the abduction of the monarch, stressing that investigation into the abduction had begun.
