While Mr. Adejojo was accused of forcing his way into the legislative chambers during plenary and carting away the mace, the other two councillors were reportedly suspended for their sudden disappearance shortly before the attempted mace theft.

Mr. Adejojo allegedly went to the council with three suspected thugs while the plenary was going on. He allegedly carted away the mace, which was later found in an uncompleted building around the area.
