Ooni of Ife reacts to the fire incident at the palace of Oba of Lagos

The fire at the palace of the Oba of Lagos on Tuesday has nothing to do with the Lagos’ monarch’s relationship with the #OoniofIfe, an official has said.

The spokesperson of the Ooni’s palace, Moses Olafare, says the Ife monarch, Enitan Ogunwusi, is unhappy with the fire incident.
“We are not happy over the fact that the palace of Lagos king got burnt, we can only sympathise with the palace on the development,” he said.
Although the fire incident at the Lagos monarch’s palace had happened barely one week after a video showed the Lagos monarch, Rilwan Akiolu, snub the Ooni and there have been rumours on socialmedia that Tuesday’s fire was as a result of or connected to the snub, these reports have been denied by Mr. Olafare.“People are entitles to their own views,” he said. “But what people say doesn’t mean that is the position of the palace. What happened is mere coincidence and should not be traced to the incident in Lagos, we send our sympathies,” he added. Source: PremiumTimes
