Over the weekend, Abike Jagaban, who has been alleged to be intimately close to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, was seen at a social gathering in Lagos where she was escorted by the Ooni of Ife’s staff of office.
Kemi Filani gathered that the occasion was actually her grandmother’s burial and a reception was held after at an event centre with the Ooni of Ife’s staff being used as an escort.
Immediately Abike, who is the Yeye Bewaji of Itoriland strolled in, a palace guard with the Ooni of Ife’s staff of the office was seen following her everywhere.
Well, this could have slipped without mention from some guests but lately, the staff of the office of the Ooni of Ife has been present at five weddings of his queens without the monarch’s presence.
But the beautiful blogger seemed not bothered and went about the party with the staff of the office carried by an escort.
“The staff of the office of the king represents him and could be at anyone’s party as long as it’s the king’s emissary carrying it. It’s a mark of honour and Abike is no stranger to the palace. If the king or anyone from Ile Ife couldn’t attend the party physically, the staff of the office would honour the invite. Nobody should place any unusual meaning to the office staff at Abike Jagaban’s party,” palace sources revealed to Kemi Ashefon.
