Further revelation has it that the “attack” which lasted about “ten minutes” failed to stop the ceremony.

No casualty was recorded in the attack that had the Osi Olubadan and former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, and Baamofin of Ibadanland, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin already seated in the palace when it occurred.
