The king of Osogbo called a meeting of Osogbo chiefs and Osun temple elders to discuss why ex-Arugba cannot live in the Osun temple. We thrashed it and the oldest ex-Arugba told the gathering that it was a taboo-breaking for ex-Arugba to live in the Osun temple.
The king said he would break the taboo and he brought ex-Arugba to be living in the Osun temple in the palace. The consequences, no peace anymore in the Osun temple, no peace in the palace and no peace in the whole town. Deaths everywhere in the town even in the palace. Afterward, the king sent Iya Osun out of the palace and put Moslem imam as Baba Olosun and put Alhaja as Iya Osun.
Osun Osogbo was sold and the king and the ex-Arugba names were mentioned and Osun came back to me at heavy costs. The king just maintained his stand. Evils have descended on the town. Osun is angry. The Yoruba obas should learn from this, they should not go against their tradition.
We are considering next step to take: Either to go to court for the enforcement of our rights or to raise funds for the building of new Osun Osogbo temple that will house Osun, Iya Osun and her team as Osun Osogbo wanted. United Nations, UNESCO, President of Nigeria, Governor of Osun State, Chairmen of the Osogbo Local Government and Olorunda Local Government will be duly informed. Special thanks to the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Ogunwusi Alakaaesu, Akaba owo remo, Arole Oodua and Baba mi Alaaafin of Oyo Alayeluwa Olayiwola Adeyemi, Eleyin-aa-pon-onsi, Baba mi Atanda okunrin kan bi igba for their interests in the case. All well-wishers all over the world and Nigeria are recognised. Oore yeye o.Dr Adigun Olosun.
Baba Olosun of Osogboland.
