Chairman, Ondo State Council of Obas and the Deji of Akureland, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi has intervened in the conflict between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and his estranged wife, Olori Naomi.
Vanguard quotes a source as saying Oba Aladelusi had reached out to both parties in a bid to end the feud.
Olori Naomi who hails from Ondo town, in Ondo state got married to the monarch in the year 2018.
She has reportedly moved from the palace in ile- lfe, Osun state to Akure, the state capital before the announcement of her separation from the monarch.
Olori Naomi had announced she was walking away from the three-year-old marriage over some irreconcilable differences via her verified Instagram page citing irreconcilable differences.
But in a swift reaction, the Ile-Oodua Palace said that the alleged separation of Queen Silekunola Naomi Ogunwusi was unknown to the palace.
The spokesperson for the Ooni of Ife, Comrade Moses Olafare said the palace is not aware of such separation, saying the king and queen went to bed last night (Wednesday) as husband and wife.
He also said, “Separation is a two-way affair, it is not something that is announced by one party. The announcements of separation are subject to agreement by both parties, so, to that extent.
“The palace is not aware of such separation because we all went to bed last night having the king and queen being together.
“So, if by this morning, the queen went to her social media to write that she is no longer in marriage with Ooni, we will look into it to see whether or not the Instagram page truly belong to her, and to know the reason behind it.
It was learnt that Deji of Akure intervened by meeting personally with Oba Ogunwusi and the Olori separately in Akure and Ile lfe.
The meeting it was said was successful as both parties reportedly responded positively to the intervention of the Deji of Akure land.
A source privy to the meeting said, ”lt is true that the chairman of the Ondo state council of Obas and the Paramount traditional ruler of Akureland, the Deji took it upon himself to wade into the conflict between his fellow Oba and the Olori.
”It will interest you that the matter would soon be resolved as both parties have agreed to sheathe the sword.
” Their differences are normal in marriage, it’s nothing unusual, its a teething problem and within a couple of days, the Olori will move back to the palace and life will continue.
”Dont believe all the stories in the social media, it was over-bloated, the couple would soon reconcile going by the intervention of the Deji of Akure.
Contacted for comment, the Press Secretary to the Deji of Akureland, Michael Adeyeye confirmed the intervention of the monarch.
Adeyeye said that ” yes the chairman council of Obas in the state, the Deji of Akureland has personally paid a private visit to both parties and the matter was discussed and being ironed out.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.

The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.

His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.

“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.

“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.

“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
