Ogun State Police, Tuesday, arraigned the suspended Olorile of Orile Ifo, Semiu Adewale Ogunjobi, for assaulting a 73 year old man, Elder Abraham Areola.

The suspended Oba was arraigned on three count charges of conspiracy, assault and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.

According to the Force Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, the suspended Oba was granted bail after pleading not guilty to offences.

HorizonTimes gathered that he was granted bail on liberal terms of N5m with two sureties in the like sum.

The case has been adjourned to March 6 for hearing.

The Oba was on Monday suspended by the Ogun State government in collaboration with Egba Traditional Council.

Oba Ogunjobi, a former police officer, was captured in a viral video physically assaulting the old man, alongside his accomplices whose faces were also not captured in the video.

In the footage, he accused Elder Areola of alleged betrayer with one Wasiu while cursing the old man severally.

When the man told the suspended Oba that he was ill, he threatened to bury him without traces if he dies during the torture.

Oba Ogunjobi, who has earlier denied being the person in the video, according to the Committee for Human Right, confessed at the Eleweran headquarters of Ogun State police command.

He was also said to be begging the victim with a plot of land.

The Oba was said to be using his influence as a former police officer and that of his wife identified as Officer Veronica serving at FCID, Alagbon, to threaten the peace of Orile Ifo.
