Last week, Nigerian social media was abuzz with a possibly misinformed piece of information that a certain Abobaku had gone missing.

It was widely opined that Abobaku, is the individual selected to be buried with the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.

However, Ile-Ife chiefs have denied that an Abobaku was to be buried with the deceased monarch.

They refuted the claims that five people went missing during the Oro festival performed as part of the burial rites for the late Ooni.

As for the Abobaku, also known as Sarun, the chiefs stated that the reports that he had fled to escape being buried with the king, were false.

Lowa Adimula of Ife, Oba Joseph Ijaodola, who also doubles as the Head of Inner Chiefs, was quoted to have said: “No one was caught during the Oro festival, it is all lies. It has never been done in Ife land that somebody must be killed or buried with the Ooni.”

Similarly, the Laadim Adimula of Ife and Secretary of Royal Traditional Council, High Chief Adekoye Odewole, also debunked the insinuation.

He was quoted to have said: “We don’t use human beings for rituals in Ile-Ife. We can use rams, goats or other animals, but not human beings.”

When the obis or igwes die no curfews are imposed.If you use google you will even see pictures of the last obi of onitsha in the sixtees when he lay in state during his funeral

At least after his 'murder' God raised him up on the third day.Is the so -called god of ife able to ressurect the Abobaku after he must have been buried alive?
