Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi appears the most controversial monarch in Nigeria presently. Since becoming the Ooni of Ife, the man has been riddled with several controversies.
There was the divource of his first wife and mother of his daughter. Then came the issue of the divource of his second wife, Olori Wuraola.
Having only recently gotten married to a prophetess in Naomi Moronke Silekunola, the monarch is again swimming in another controversy.
This time, the man is being accused of a woman of dumping her. A US-based lady identified as Elizabeth Odunlami, took to her Facebook page to accuse the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, of dumping her after promising to marry her.
In her post which she has since deleted, Elizabeth accused the monarch of leaving her after a long term relationship for Olori Naomi who he married recently.
Below is what Elizabeth wrote on her Facebook page below:
Kabiyesi Enitan Ogunwusi, I’m thanking you for the disappointment after using my real biological name to execute your contract from Mr. John in California.
As a matter of fact, you promised me to be your next queen before Naomi, whenever i asked you if you have someone, you were always in denial.
On certainty, you told me that all your so-called spiritualists positively accepted me as your new queen, that shouldn’t listen to rumors, always communicating with me everyday promising me ticket to Nigeria soon.
Had it been that i knew you’re a liar, do u think that I’ll release all my personal informations to both you and your contractor that died in ghastly accident, you put tears in my naked eyes and give joy to Naomi after getting your plenty million contracts successfully and also told me after Olojo festival that you’re sending me ticket to board airline to Nigeria. If want to deal with you in America way, you’ll be arrested by USA, but for the sake of love that i have for YorubaLand, I’ll leave you with Judgement of God Oonirisa Oba Funfun Nene. For those making Jess of me on Facebook continue making Jess of me. I’m already successful and I’m a pillar. Nobody tackle with me. Vengeance is Lord between me and you Akande Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi. AdabiArojahadafun iwo ati PA ti mo designated to bring the contract to you at your lle-Ife palace. Idajo Olorun Esan a wo afin e soon wa mo wipe emi gangan ni atupa Jesu.
Reacting to the allegation, the monarch in a statement released by the palace’s director, media & public affairs, Moses Olafare, said the allegation is false and unfounded.
“While we sympathise with Miss Elizabeth Odunlami (if the identity is real) who obviously has become a victim of a fraudulent act perpetrated by a scammer disguising to be Ooni Ogunwusi, we find it pertinent to debunk this sacrilegious and unfounded allegation which is not unlikely to be another calculated ploy adopted by some unprovoked detractors using psseudo-identities. Good members of the public especially ladies are hereby cautioned against communicating with anyone presenting himself to be the Ooni Ogunwusi and swiftly report such a matter or person to the relevant security agencies.”the statement read
The truth in this statement is however questionable, as the Ooni has been involved in one negative event too many. While one might want to accept the position of the palace, the need to also ask if the Ooni is the only monarch in Nigeria, and why is it that he is always a target of aggrieved women needs to be asked.
