Pearl Chidinma Ogbolu, the Erelu Okin of Orile Kemta, has announced that she turned herself in to Lagos police.

The command headquarters is probing the distribution of petrol as souvenir at her installation party last week.

Videos of kegs containing the petroleum product triggered condemnation upon which the state government acted.

The intention was to show appreciation to guests “for turning up at my event at these hard times”, Ogbolu had explained.

The Lagos government already sealed Havilah Events Centre in Oniru for contravening public safety rules.

In an Instagram post of her police meeting on Tuesday, Ogbolu again apologized for the controversial act.

“I have ‘reported’ myself to the police this morning. My intent is to help with their investigation of the unfortunate incident.
