The Staff of Office of the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, which was stolen some days ago by hoodlums after breaking into the traditional ruler’s residence in Lagos, has reportedly been found.
According to reports, the staff commonly referred to as Opa Ase which is the symbol of authority of a traditional ruler, was spotted when a group of yet-to-be identified persons visited the palace on an inspection tour.
In a video which was shared online, the staff could be seen leaning on the wall inside a room scattered with papers and furniture destroyed.
Amid the chaos in Lagos last week, Oba Akiolu was extracted by soldiers just before rampaging youths invaded his residence.
News of the staff returning has been met with several reactions online, as many are of the opinion that Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola deserves credit for locating the staff, a day after finding a hidden camera at the Lekki toll gate.
