“Yes, we are here. We will give him feedback. Our purpose here is to get the true situation of things and report back.”

However, Olubadan had said the delegation was sent to protect the rights of Sunday Igboho.

He said, “Sunday Igboho lives in Ibadan, got married in Ibadan, rear children in Ibadan, built houses in Ibadan and as such he has the rights to be protected by Ibadan Traditional Institution within the ambit of the law just like any human being in Ibadan.”

The first-class monarch also allayed fears of several people, including protesters who besieged his palace.
