The Olugbon of Orile-Igbon, Oba Francis Alao, has appealed to supporters of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, to halt media comments fueling the controversy over the alleged installation of businessman Dotun Sanusi as the Okanlomo of Yorubaland.
In a statement issued by Olugbon in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Thursday, Alao also cautioned Yoruba sons and daughters at home and abroad against emotional outbursts that could drag the revered thrones of the Ooni and the Alaafin into disrepute over what he described as a speculative title conferment on Sanusi.
