The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade I, has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, to revoke the Okanlomo of Yorubaland title conferred on business tycoon Dotun Sanusi ka Ilaji, calling it an affront to his authority as the Titan of Yorubaland.

The Alaafin claims exclusive rights to grant pan-Yoruba titles, citing a Supreme Court ruling, and accuses the Ooni of overstepping his jurisdiction, limited to Ife’s local governments. Failure to comply may lead to unspecified consequences, escalating tensions between the two prominent Yoruba monarchs.
