Alaafin, Ooni May Be Ensnared By Witchcraft – Worshippers Raise Alarm
The Traditional Religion Worshippers Association in Osun State has raised concerns that the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, may be under a spiritual spell.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the association’s president, Oluseyi Atanda, the recurring disputes between the two foremost Yoruba monarchs point to the possibility of mystical interference. Tensions resurfaced on Monday after the Alaafin criticized the Ooni’s decision to confer the title of Okanlomo of Yorubaland on businessman Dotun Sanusi.
Speaking in an interview, Atanda said members of the group were considering performing traditional rites to reconcile the monarchs and avert further escalation. He expressed concern over the public exchange of words, cautioning palace aides to tread carefully.
Atanda, a gynaecologist, described the feud as “unfortunate” given the monarchs’ shared allegiance to Yoruba traditional religion. “The two monarchs are traditionalists; we are from the same root. What could have caused this fight? May we not fall under a spell in Yorubaland. This situation may be the handiwork of those who do not want Yoruba unity,” he said.
He warned that the dispute could degenerate into a wider crisis, with some Yoruba kings aligning behind the Alaafin and others siding with the Ooni. Asked directly if he believed the monarchs were under a spell, Atanda replied, “It can be a spell. What is the reason for this quarrel? Both kings are wealthy, influential, and enlightened.”

Speaking on Monday, when he hosted heads of security agencies for the breaking of the Ramadan fast, Governor Sani said such people want to hide under the umbrella of free speech to cause trouble in Kaduna.
The Governor stated that some opposition politicians are spreading falsehoods in order to foment a crisis.
He, however, assured that his administration would not tolerate such attempts to breach the peace and security in Kaduna, warning that those found guilty will be dealt with according to the law.
Naija News reports that the Governor reiterated that freedom of speech is not a license to spread fake news that will lead to loss of lives and property.
‘’Some people just sit down in the comfort of the their homes and start spreading rumour through the social media. People should not hide under Freedom of Speech to cause trouble. We will not accept that in Kaduna State.
‘’We will deal with conflict merchants who want to disrupt the present peace in Kaduna State in the name of politics, within the ambit of the law,’’ the Governor warned.
According to him, Kaduna State is home to all tribes and religions because the people are hospitable and accommodating, and the government will strive to preserve this harmony.
Governor Uba Sani told the security chiefs that political campaigns will begin soon, as primaries will start in April and end in May, according to the INEC timetable.
He reminded the heads of security organisations that politicians who lose out in the contests will try to play the victim by dishing out all sorts of falsehoods to cause confusion, advising them to be vigilant.
The Governor also called for synergy between security agencies and local government chairmen, as well as traditional and religious leaders at the grassroots, in order to deepen intelligence gathering, adding that his administration remains open to cooperation on how to improve the security in the state and overcome the challenges of banditry and kidnapping.
