Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of ife has denied visiting
embattled ex-CBN Governor Godwin emefiele in kuje prison.
The Ooni's spokesperson reacting to the rumour on Wednesday 6th December 2023, Moses olafere stated that the Oba Ogunwusi was at the correctional facility at the instance of a non-governmental organization owned by queen Temitope, one of his wives, which is on advocacy for the correction center.
In the statement he added the event was organized in partnership with the kuje correctional Authority, centred on giving hope to inmates after serving their terms, hope on integration to the society, in commemoration to his eight Anniversary, Ooni was part of it.
The statement read;
"The intention of those spreading the rumour is to blackmail the monarch, there's nothing hidden about the event, in any case the king didn't visit emefiele, because it was an official event organized by the NGO in partnership with the kuje correctional center.
"The programme was centered at giving hope to the inmates to reintegrate to the society after serving their term. The Arole Ooni was invited to chair the event in commemoration of his eight year anniversary on the throne.
"What is exclusive about a public programme were public figures spoke and representatives of the inmates also spoke? how then the Ooni manage to meet the ex-CBN Governor Godwin emefiele?.
"We must be careful how people spread falsehoods about people. The video of the event is available to the public. I'm not even sure emefiele attended the program because he is only in detention and not an inmate yet. So why link the visit to emefiele? is simply to achieve blackmail.
