Ooni-elect may be crowned today
OONI of Ife-elect, Prince Adeyeye Enitan
Ogunwusi, may be installed substantive
monarch today after leaving Ilofi late
yesterday.
Prince Ogunwusi had on October 30
commenced traditional rites in seclusion
at Ilofi, a place meant for rituals and
tutelage of a new Ooni and was to have
concluded that important aspect pre-
coronation exercise on November 19,
signaling end of the 21-day event.
Sources, however, said yesterday that his
stay in Ilofi was extended to ensure all
the rites were completed before the
coronation ceremony.
The Guardian learnt that the coronation
would not be done in the open but inside
Ile Oodua, the official palace of the Ooni
as he makes his first entry into the
palace today.
A source said: “In line with the demand
of Ile Ife customs and traditions, his
coronation will hold behind closed doors.
Only the Isoros and Ife chiefs will be
involved, but I can confirm it will be
done inside the palace.”
