Why I claimed Ooni is my father – Man recants, apologises (+ VIDEO)
Why I claimed Ooni is my father – Man recants, apologises (+ VIDEO)
In a dramatic turn of events, a middle-aged man whose bold claim of being the son of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, captured widespread attention in a viral video, has now delivered a public apology to the revered traditional ruler.
The apology followed significant controversy stirred by the man’s initial claim, prompting a swift response from the Ooni’s palace.
In the contentious video, the individual, clad in a traditional white Agbada, boldly asserted that Oba Ogunwusi had instructed him and his mother to keep their lineage discreet.
‘Oba Enitan Ogunwunsi is my father. He hid me with my mother with a clear instruction that I must not reveal myself,” the man claimed in Yoruba.
In a subsequent online video released last Friday, the man expressed sincere regret over any confusion or distress caused by his initial claims.
He explained that his actions were driven by a series of dreams involving the Ooni, which he interpreted as significant.

According to him, these dreams led him to believe he had a special connection with the monarch, prompting his public appeal.
“I have a reason for creating that video. In 2022, I found myself beside the Ooni in my dream, engaging in discussions,” he said.
Despite his unsuccessful attempts to meet the Ooni in person, he resorted to creating the video as a final attempt to grab attention.
The man, who chose not to disclose his identity in either video, earnestly appealed to the Ooni for understanding, expressing;
“My esteemed father, please do not be displeased with me. I did not create the video to defame you; rather, I made it to attract your attention so that I could narrate my dream to you and hopefully meet you.”
He also urged the Nigerian public not to misuse his video to defame the Ooni, emphasizing that his intentions were solely to seek an audience with the monarch, not to spark controversy or dishonor.
