Ooni Suspends High Ranking Chief, Moves To Depose Monarch

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has suspended a high ranking chief in his domain, Chief Ramon Adedoyin, the Maye of Ife.


Also being considered for removal is the Oloyere of Oyere, Oba Adeoye Adefarakan.

Both men were accused of tarnishing the image of Oba Ogunwusi.

Adedoyin, the Founder of Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Osun State, was suspended for for allegedly releasing an ewi (poetry) to deride the stool of the Ooni.
The suspension of Adedoyin and move to depose Adefarakan were announced by the Royal Traditional Council of the Source, as Ife is referred to, at a press conference in Ile Ife on Tuesday.

The press conference was attended by the 16 kingmakers of Ile Ife, including the Obalufe of Ife, Oba Idowu Adediwura, who is the traditional Prime Minister; and Lowa Adimula of Ife, Oba Adekola Adeyeye.

The press statement read at the press conference said: “That beyond a reasonable doubt, Chief Ramon Adedoyin and his cohorts like Oba Adeoye Adefarakan have committed offences of defaming the stool and character of the Ooni of Ife, assault and the libellous release of the ewi remain indelible and all these acts are conducts likely to cause a breach of peace.

“That all parties involved in the meeting passed a vote of no confidence on Chief Ramon Adedoyin and Oba Adeoye Adefarakan.

“That the House of Oduduwa henceforth suspends the chieftaincy title of Maye of Ife that was bestowed on Chief Ramon Adedoyin until further notice.

“Chief Ramon Adedoyin should not parade himself as the Maye of Ife until he absolved himself of his disloyalty and betrayal to the stool of Ooni and the House of Oduduwa.”
