The spate of destruction of public buildings continue Wednesday as irate mob attacked Iga Idugaran, the palace of the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu and set it ablaze.
Dozens of hoodlums stormed the palace in downtown Lagos and looted personal belongings of the monarch including his staff of office.
Social media footage showed a column of thick smoke emerging from the palace and thugs running away with the Oba’s staff of office.
The motive of the attackers remain unknown but this follows attacks on some Lagos landmarks after several #EndSARS protesters were killed by soldiers on Tuesday night at the Lekki toll gate.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday said there were no deaths but acknowledged many were injured and had been taken to hospitals.
