He was later granted bail as the court adjourned the case to March 3, 2025.

Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi confirmed the development in a statement, saying the monarch was charged with conspiracy, assault, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.

“The Kabiyesi Abdulsemiu Ogunjobi, who assaulted an elderly man in a viral video, was charged to court today, February 4, 2025. He was granted bail while the case was adjourned to March 6, 2025,” Adejobi stated.

The monarch was caught on video physically assaulting Abraham, cursing him, and making threats to kill or jail him.

The victim, visibly weak, pleaded that he was unwell, but the monarch continued his aggression.
