The monarch, even as lamenting that Lagos suffered “massive” destruction, stated those who attacked his palace were ignorant of the implication of what they did.
He additionally appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos to get over the destruction, announcing the state suffered from the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest than some other states within the us of a.
According to him: “I will guide anything a good way to circulate Lagos forward. I even have appealed to the Federal Government to assist Lagos with what we've got suffered. We host many humans here, now not Lagosians on my own. The incident that befell right here from October 20 to twenty third is so saddening.
“The destruction we suffered in Lagos is so enormous than in any other part of the country.
“Many homes have been burnt, which include motors used to generate income. I can now say publicly that they stole far from my palace $2 million and N17 million.
“Those who devoted the offence would no longer have executed that if they recognize the implication. But as a father, I won’t place any curse on them.”
After the attack on Akiolu’s palace, some squaddies whisked the septuagenarian away.
The monarch again to his palace over months after he escaped from an assault on his palace.
