On Tuesday, Semiu Adewale Ogunjobi, the suspended Olorile of Orile Ifo, was charged by the Ogun State Police Command with assaulting Elder Abraham Areola, 73.
The suspended monarch was arraigned on three counts of conspiracy, assault, and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
According to the Force Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, the suspended Oba was granted bail after pleading not guilty to offenses.
It was gathered that he was granted bail on liberal terms of N5 million with two sureties in the same sum.
The case has been adjourned to March 6 for a hearing.
The traditional ruler was suspended on Monday by the Ogun State government in collaboration with the 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.
In the video, he accused Elder Areola of an alleged betrayer with one Wasiu while cursing the old man severely.
When the man told the suspended Oba that he was killed, he threatened to bury him without traces if he died during the torture.
Oba Ogunjobi, who had earlier denied being the person in the video, according to the Committee for Human Rights, confessed at the Eleweran headquarters of the Ogun State police command.
He was also said to be begging the victim with a plot of land.
The Oba was said to be using his influence as a former police officer and that of his wife, identified as Officer Veronica serving at FCID, Alagbon, to threaten the peace of Orile Ifo.
