The collision was allegedly caused by Prince Oluwole Oluwalana, a palace affiliate driving a Venza vehicle who was attempting a U-turn.
An Akure-based legal practitioner, Sunday Michael, has been attacked by thugs allegedly linked to the Palace of the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade, in Ondo State.
SaharaReporters gathered that the incident occurred at the Post Office area along Oba Adesida Road, where the lawyer was knocked down while riding a motorcycle.
The collision was allegedly caused by Prince Oluwole Oluwalana, a palace affiliate driving a Venza vehicle who was attempting a U-turn.
Following the incident, a group of thugs reportedly led by one Oluwatuyi Adekanbi descended on the lawyer, seized his motorcycle, and transported it to the palace.
The bike was allegedly vandalised and stripped of its parts. The number plate was removed, and the rear lights and hazard lamps were damaged.
In the course of the assault, the lawyer also lost several personal belongings, including his wristwatch, eyeglasses, and a laptop.
A source confirmed to SaharaReporters that the attack left the lawyer shocked and physically shaken.
He explained that instead of Prince Oluwole to show concern for knocking the lawyer down, he put a call to his cohorts at the Palace, which is a stone-throw from the scene and his cohorts went to the scene in their numbers.
“The thugs led by one Oluwatuyi Adekanbi upon siting the lawyer exclaimed ” you again? Are you the only person in Akure? Immediately after these remarks, they all descended heavily on the lawyer and began to beat him.
