The monarch said the hoodlums came in dozens with dangerous weapons, before the intervention of local vigilante groups that averted their plots and chased them away, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

“Suddenly, we started seeing strange faces and many boys coming closer to the palace with different weapons in their hands.

“My house, my car and many people who came to pay homage to me were also wounded.

“More than 60 people were shot, those who sustained serious injuries have been taken to the hospital for treatment,” the monarch said.
