Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu says the sum of $2 million and N17 million belonging to him was carted away during the #EndSARS protest which was hijacked by hoodlums last year October.
It will be recalled that hoodlums used the protest as cover to raid the palace of the Oba of Lagos, and carted away his Staff of Office, and other valuables.
The monarch said this is the first time he is revealing the cash of US$2million, and N17m stolen from his palace to the public.
He said this while speaking at the official handing over of the remodeled Glover Memorial Hall, Customs Street, Lagos Island by the state governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The governor on his part said, the coronavirus pandemic and the mindless destruction which followed the #EndSARS protests had a shattering impact on the economy, the spirit of Lagosians full of resilience, courage was there to overcome challenges and other vicissitudes.
“We are Lagosians with the resilience, tenacity, strength and courage needed to overcome challenges and other vicissitudes. We are consolidating the gains of the past and charting fresh development trajectories for the future, with our focus on socio-economic gains that will outlive this administration,” he said.
