Oba
Ogunwusi is said to have been crowned early today, November 23, 2015,
in a secret traditional ceremony, according to The Nation.
“Ooni
gives crowns to traditional rulers and he is not expected to receive
one like others. His crowning is usually done in secrecy or confidence,
not in the open,” a source said.
“And
traditionally, whoever is pronounced by the kingmakers and the
government becomes the Ooni. He does not need to wait till he undergoes
rites and crowned before he is referred to as Ooni,” the source added.
Oba Ogunwusi was chosen in October to replace late predecessor, Oba Okunade Sijuwade who passed away in London on July 28.
