Kings in the early days are well respected .The Yoruba call them" igba keji Orisa" i.e second in command to the deity.
That was then, now kings are are soft target for kidnappers and assassin's. .Oba Ayinde Odetola, the Olu of Agodo was not only killed, his remains was burnt to ashes.
Many first class Oba have been abducted and were released after ransom was paid...
Of a truth, some of these Obas hobnob with people in power, and they fail to tell them the truth .
Now that the chicken has come home to roost..
They must be ready for any eventuality.Unfortunstely , government of the day can not guarantee their safety.
They really have big issues to contend with!
