REAL REASON WHY PRINCE TIJANI 'TJ' ONIRU WAS MOBBED NOW ASCERTAINED. THOSE WHO MOBBED HIM WERE APPARENTLY AGENTS OF THE PALACE!

Oba Abdul-Wasiu Omogbolahan Ajasa Lawal, Oniru of Iruland

The notice that caused the altercation

Remember we only just wrote about how one of the prominent sons of the late Oba Abiodun Idowu Oniru, in the person of the Opemoluwa & Oluwo Ejiwe of Iruland, Prince Tijani Oniru aka TJ a white cap chief of the domain was slapped and nearly mobbed by some very angry palace security men from the Oniru Royal Palace, where the new King, Alaiyeluwa, HRM Oba Abdul-Wasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II, retired former Police Officer and many times commissioner in Lagos State is reigning supreme, since he was crowned as the 15th Oniru of Iruland just last month, June 2020 to be more specific. He from last month became one of the highest ranking Royal Fathers in Lagos State. And just like that, the former Prince from Ijora & Iruland jettisoned his quiet ambition to one day become the Governor of Lagos State for the splendour of the royal palace and crown.

We have since found out the remote cause of the avoidable altercation, that nearly degenerated into a mob action which could have had dire consequences if the Prince TJ had been more badly wounded!

According to our investigation, the person (messenger) from the Oniru Royal Palace being oblivious of any trouble, was carrying out his lawful duty as was ordered by the palace, which was to paste notices on all the Oniru Royal Family properties in their domain.
When the person actually got to the Millennium Estate gates, which is also in Oniru, therefore in the Oniru domain also, he was prevented from doing what he had been ordered by the palace to do. Apparently, some residents of the Estate maybe believing that they needed protection of some sort or not understanding what the reason for the notices were, may  have quickly informed TJ. Curiously from our findings, the Millennium Estate is a joint venture between the Oniru Royal Family and Union Homes.

TJ who quickly arrived on the scene to ascertain for himself what he may have been told was said to have come aggressively and was claimed to have threatened the messenger from the palace, who may have believed strongly the time honoured Yoruba adage that says "You fear him who has sent you on errands and not the recipient" so he stood his ground and exclaimed that, he was carrying out palace instructions.

TJ reportedly abused the person and slapped him. The messenger apparently retaliated with vehemence with his own slap and even called the palace for re-enforcements, who on hearing what had happened to their own came quickly and enmasse. Willing and ready to cause mayhem

They even wanted to beat the Prince the more and even carry him away too, maybe to the palace or somewhere, but he quickly scampered away into the Estate, aided by the gates that was immediately shut after him.

Hence, further trouble was nipped in the bud before it could escalate as the Prince was seen trying to make a call, maybe to call for his own re-enforcements too. But before his call could connect, the guys had rushed on him and he had to make his escape.

Thank God more injuries wasn't sustained or that the altercation didn't fester further.

We just pray and hope that all sides would embrace peace and sheath their swords and shun violence after all.

No one needs any break in law and order at all. Especially in that area that houses very valuable properties in great numbers.
