Some Kingmakers in Araromi Ekiti, Ijero Local Government area, have alleged that some suspected thugs attacked their houses over the Obaship tussle in the community.
In a statement, the concerned kingmakers claimed that the attack was allegedly sponsored by one of those interested in the vacant stool.
The Head of the Kingmakers and Eisa of Araromi-Ekiti, Chief Olu Atoyebi and the Ojumu, Chief Samuel Atewogbola, explained that the attackers came in the night and started throwing stones and other dangerous objects at their houses because of their opposition to cut corners.
They also alleged that the Prince, who was behind the attack, also orchestrated the arrest of some indigenes of the town for unjust reasons.
Other allegations by the kingmakers was that there was a plan to install warrant chiefs that would install the alleged Prince as the next monarch of the town, despite the obaship tussle case pending in court.
They appealed to the State Government to intervene in the matter and ensure strict compliance with the laid down process of selecting a new Alararomi to avert the breakdown of law and order.
