However, it was later revealed that Oba Oyetunji had been summoned to Abuja by security officials to respond to a petition filed by a king under his domain concerning funds.
Wasiu Bello, the palace’s Secretary, confirmed that Oba Oyetunji had traveled to Abuja in response to a petition filed against him.
National President, Osogbo Progressive Union (O.P.U) dispelled insinuations that Ataoja was arrested by police in Abuja.
He explained in a text:“It’s untrue that His Royal Majesty, Kabiyesi, Ataoja of Osogboland is being held in Abuja by the Police. The truth is that the Ataoja was invited to Abuja to clear himself of some allegations contained in a petition to the Police against him, just like anybody can be invited by the Police on any alleged allegation.
