Ooni, Brother End Rift

For long, the war between the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi and his brother, Adetunji Ogunwusi, was so intense, it raged like a plot of a royal battle in some Nollywood movie.

But today, the rift is over as the two have sheathed their swords after two years of animosity that gave those close to them cause for concern.

Until the recent development, Adetunji, who is also a top player in the real estate business, allegedly refused to see eye-to-eye with the Ooni, after losing out in the contest for the throne two years ago.

As proof of his displeasure, Adetunji had allegedly shunned several attempts by their father, Ropo Ogunwusi, to resolve the matter.

It took a different dimension when the Ooni honoured another of his sibling, Adegboyega, with the title of Sooko Laekun of Ife (the Sooko of Ile Ife is the head of the princes and princesses of the Kingdom).

This, it was learnt, further infuriated Adetunji, who allegedly vowed never to have anything to do with the Ooni.

Worried by this unsavoury development, top personalities and some elders in the town and across the state began to make efforts to reunite the warring brothers who used to be business partners.

The Ooni also reportedly extended a hand of friendship to his brother in an effort to end the bitter war.

Now, friends and relations have cause to be happy once again, as the two brothers have embraced peace.

Spyglass gathered that the handsome monarch made a surprise appearance at his brother’s birthday in Lekki penultimate week, where they embraced each other, wined and dined together.
