Finally Ife Chiefs Confirms The Death Of Ooni by Joshmon(m): 12:03am On Aug 11, 2015 |
The Ife traditional council has officially announced
the passing away of the Ooni of Ife, Okunade
Sijuade Olubuse II, after weeks of speculation.
Layi Adereti, the Awara of Iwara-ife, made the
confirmation while speaking on the preparation
for the Ooni’s burial.
He stated that the official proclamation of the
passage of the Ooni of Ife, who died at Saint Mary
Hospital in London, will be made on Wednesday,
August 12.
Adereti added that the Oro festival, will be the
final rite of passage for the Ooni.
“This is an official statement from the palace of
Awara of Iwara-Ife, who is the head of Oro deity,
that on Wednesday 12th August 2015, there
would be official proclamation of the demise of
Ooni of Ife,” he said.
“The proclamation will be made public during the
Oro festival, being the final rites on the demise of
Ooni of Ife.
“The residents of the ancient town are, therefore,
urged to keep away from the streets between the
hours of 9am and 4pm, during which the Oro
diety will be out.
“With the announcement, people are advised to
stay in-doors for the period when the Oro will be
out.”
Mr. Adereti who is also the head of Oro Cult in Ile-
Ife, warned the residents of the town whether
male or female to remain indoors during the Oro
rites.
The Council had initially denied the news of the
Ooni’s death, insisting that its traditional rulers
don’t die dailypost.ng/2015/08/10/breaking-ife-chiefs-officially-confirm-oonis-death/ |
