How did Oba of Lagos come to have over #1bn cash at home? 3 Questions the Oba must answer

Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu who has been in charge since 2003 is among the trends.

The traditional ruler stated that back in 2020 during the protests to end the operations of the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) 17 million naira and two million dollars were stolen from his palace.

The revelation by the Oba of Lagos should be met with an investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

There are questions that must be answered by the traditional ruler if he is not above the laws of the land.

3 Questions the Oba must answer

1 The Oba of Lagos having over 1 billion naira in his personal residence is a cause for concern and therefore the first question that should be asked is why the money is not safeguarded at a banking institution rather than under his protection.

2 The second question that should be asked is the source of income that would generate one billion naira for a traditional ruler in a period where citizens are suffering from hardship.

3 The third question that should be asked is what role does the Oba of Lagos play in accruing such wealth.
