Ooni of Ife , Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Sunday,
October 9th moved to Iledi a place of seclusion
where he will be for the next 7 days as a result of
the Olojo festival
The festival is a major annual event in Ile Ife,
meant to celebrate the creation of universe and the
week long event will climax with wearing of “Are”
crown, a special crown worn once annually by Ooni
and the symbolic walk from Ile Oodua, Ooni’s
palace, to Oke Mogun.
The Ooni will not be in contact with any person
during this time but with the spirits.
According to Thisday, road leading to Ooni’s
palace from Moore was closed to traffic as Oba
Ogunwusi moved into Iledi, his first port of call
when he started the rites for installation as Ooni
last year November.
Spokesperson to Ooni, Moses Olafare said the Ooni
will, during the seclusion, pray for the country and
her leadership at all levels.
