Security agents bar Alaafin, Olubadan from Lekan Salami Stadium inauguration
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and the Olubadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, reportedly left the Lekan Salami Sports Complex in anger on Wednesday evening after security operatives deployed at the entrance of the newly remodeled stadium prevented them from going in.
It was learnt that the 82 year old Alaafin and the 93 year old Ibadan Monarch were made to wait for almost 30 minutes as the security agents at the gate were said to have insisted that just one of the aides would be allowed to go in with each of the monarchs.
The inauguration of the stadium caused traffic snarl on the roads around Mokola, Adamasingba, Dugbe and the environs due to the influx of many important personalities and residents of the state to witness the ceremony and the first matches at the stadium.
