The statement read: “The killing of Olufon of Ifon, Oba Adegoke Adeusi, was an abomination. Monarchs are mortal but cold murder of a king is sacrilegious. The perpetrators are enemies of Yoruba tradition and culture. I’ve no doubt that the spirit of revered crowns in Yorubaland will expose them”

“While I commiserate with the immediate family of the deceased and the entire traditional institution, I want to charge the Nigerian Police to constitute an high powered investigation into revealing the identities of the perpetrators.
