Royal Rift in Yorubaland: Alaafin vs. Ooni
The Olukosi of Ilukosi-Ijesa, Oba Omotooyosi Bayo M. Akinleye, has challenged the authority of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, stating it does not extend beyond Oyo land.
This comes after the Alaafin issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, demanding the revocation of the Okanlomo of Yorubaland chieftaincy title conferred on businessman Dotun Sanusi (Ilaji).
Akinleye emphasised:
“No child is older than who fathered them; we are all children of Oduduwa, and the Ooni sits on our father’s throne.”
The dispute has sparked debates online, with some citing a Supreme Court ruling affirming the Alaafin’s authority over such titles, while others question its scope beyond Oyo.
