Man Dies After Torture At Oba Ogiyan of Ejigbo Palace In Osun State

A 60-year-old Timothy Adegboye who was beaten at the palace of the Ogiyan of Ejigbo in Osun State on the order of a prominent traditional chief over issues relating to land matter in the town is dead. It was gathered that Pa Adegboye died following complications he suffered as a result of injuries inflicted on him when he was tortured at the palace of Ogiyan in 2011. Late Adegboye had been hospitalized since 2011 before he finally gave up the ghost.
It was learnt that Adegboye incured the wrath of the traditional ruler when he challenged the decision of the community on the ownership of a parcel of land which belonged to his family.
Counsel to the deceased, Mr. Yekeen Oladepo had in 2011 petitioned about the physical assault meted out to his client, describing the assault on Adegboye as an abuse of his fundamental human rights. Mr. Yekeen Oladepo also alleged that his client was forcefully stripped at the palace of the Ogiyan during a meeting called by the monarch of the town, Oba Omowonuola Oyesosin, between the concerned families claiming ownership of the affected land.
It was gathered that the deceased family had reported the matter to the police and the Director of Public Prosecution in the state Ministry of Justice was also handling the matter.
