High Chief Explannation Of What Happened In The Town

The high chief of Ode-Irele,Chief Moses Enimade town disagrees with the hypothesis and this is the side of his story :

On 15th of April 2015, Some youths in the town of Ode-Irele broke into the shrine (inner room) of one of the gods in the town, Molokun.  He said;

  Molokun is a deity of the land, only the Chief Priest and High Chief Gboguron are qualified to enter the shrine

But the youths had entered the room, stole some traditional items and antiques in a bid to exchange them for high dollars and also use some of the items for money ritual. Those youths were not allowed to enter such room and if anybody enters the room without the Chief Priest and High Chief Gboguron, the repercussion is death.

Because of what these youths did, they will die as a result of their disobedience.

The only solution is to appease the gods on their behalf by performing traditional rites. The dead youths must be buried according to the traditional rites, any of the buried without the normal procedure will be exhumed because their corpses belong to the gods, he said
