An indigene said the community had reported the activities Adeleye to his father whom they accused of not taking any action.
Another resident claimed that Adeleye was expelled from a university in Ondo State for alleged cult related activities, about five years ago. “The prince and his group have been terrorizing our community with the shield and protection of the palace. .
The people were forced to violence because of failure of the Oba to put his child and his group under check and the death of the boy sparked the riot.

Seven persons, including the Oba’s son, have been arrested in connection with the incident, while the body of the boy killed has been deposited in the mortuary,“ the resident said.
