    It was gathered that he was granted bail on liberal terms of N5m with two sureties in the like sum.

    The case has been adjourned to March 6 for hearing.

    The traditional ruler was on Monday suspended by the Ogun State government in collaboration with Egba Traditional Council.

    Oba Ogunjobi, a former police officer, was captured in a viral video physically assaulting the old man, alongside his accomplices whose faces were also not captured in the video.
