The Palace of His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, has watched with embarrassment, various posts on social media by all manner of characters, in an attempt to tarnish the image of His Royal Majesty and bring the throne to disrepute.
Ordinarily, we have remained silent as we find it ridiculous joining issues with these reckless individuals, firstly, because the Police are continuing in its investigation into the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, (Mohbad) and also out of respect for the bereaved family. It is our belief that the rights of the family should be respected, even as they come to terms with the painful death of their son.
However, these individuals continue to go on various platforms to link Mohbad’s death to the palace and His Royal Majesty, using unprintable words against the person and stool of Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, even when there was no record of any meeting or relationship between the palace and late singer or any member of his family, including his wife, Wunmi
Our lawyers have been briefed in Nigeria and overseas, and they are working with law enforcement agents, locally and internationally, to invite these individuals to come and substantiate their allegations against the stool and the person of Oba Saheed Elegushi.
Let’s not be mistaken, no one will be victimized or harassed; we have the names and contacts of many of these individuals, who continue to hide behind their phone cameras to spread wide allegations and cause unimaginable embarrassment to the palace and traditional ruler. They will be invited in the next few days to substantiate their claims and assist the police in their on-going investigation.
On behalf of His Royal Majesty, we want to thank all those who have reached out to us to express their solidarity and also urge us to take necessary action in seeking redress against this cyber attacks and bullying.
The law will definitely take its course.
