Force Public Relations Officer, Assistant Commissioner of Police Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has disclosed that the Ogun State Commissioner of Police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the viral video assault of one Chief Arinola Abraham Love (JP).
In a post on his verified X handle, Adejobi said “our attention has been drawn to this case. The case has been referred to CP Ogun for investigation. The baba should be encouraged to meet the cp or any senior officer in the command. Justice will be served. Thanks.”
A viral video had circulated on social media showing Chief Arinola Abraham Love (JP) being subjected to public humiliation and physical assault. In the video, he was seen kneeling on the road while being slapped and verbally abused by someone identified as Ọba Semiu Olawale Ogunjobi, the Oloorile of Orile Ifo. This incident reportedly stemmed from a kingship supremacy dispute.
The king allegedly took offense at Chief Arinola Abraham Love’s perceived support for a coronet Oba named Wasiu (as mentioned in the video). In response, he confronted the elderly man in his area and treated him in a manner unbefitting of a traditional ruler.
The traditional ruler who, it was gathered is a retired police officer, equally boasted in the video that he was in control of the Nigeria Police and can do anything and as such he would send the man to jail and nothing will happen.
He went further to say that even if the man dies, he would bury him without any consequence.
One of the men who were with the traditional ruler later landed a slap on Chief Arinola asking him to prostrate before the royal father.
Oba Ogunjobi who spoke in Yoruba said, “You are a conspirator, it will never be well with you… your wife and children…whoever thinks he is courageous enough should come out to face me…even if you die, we shall bury you and nothing will happen….”
While reacting to the video, the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Communication and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade condemned the maltreatment of Chief Arinola, describing it as horrible and inappropriate.
Akinmade said “The action is very inappropriate and inhumane. This will be investigated and if proven to be true, necessary action will be taken.”
Similarly, the Special Assistant to the governor on New Media, Emmanuel Ojo in a post on his verified Facebook page also condemned the disposition of the royal father in the video, saying the situation could have be
