Police operatives from the Igando Division have arrested Olaiya and charged him before the Court over his unruly conduct at the Palace.
The motive behind the alleged invasion and attack accordingly to the residents was to assassinate Oba Aberejo.
However, the Oba was fortunate to have left when Olaiya stormed the Palace. And in anger for not meeting the Oba, he destroyed the properties and escaped.
