Ogun – The chieftaincy dispute rocking Agodo community in Ewekoro Local Government area of Ogun State took a frightening dimension on Monday with the killing of the traditional ruler of the town, Oba Ayinde Odetola by suspected hoodlums.

Odetola was said to have been mudered alongside three of his aides at about 11 am.

He was said to be returning from an outing in company with his aides when the hoodlums sighted them and set their vehicles ablaze.

The killings may not be connected to the prolonged dispute over who is the rightful person to occupy the throne of Alagodo between Egba Ake and Egba Owu.

While Oba Odetola was from Ake descent, the Owu Egba insisted that one of their own should be the Alagodo.
