Reports had emerged that suspected hoodlums clashed with security personnel assigned to the governor’s convoy in a shootout at the Ataoja palace of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji, on Wednesday.
The incident is said to have occurred shortly after Adeleke received her Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and visited the monarch’s palace to celebrate her election victory.

According to him, the incident occurred outside the palace and had nothing to do with the governor or his entourage.
“Lies! It was a fight outside the palace that had nothing to do with us. The people love His Excellency,” he wrote.
