Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Saturday granted forgiveness to Yoruba self-determination activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, during a widely attended reconciliation visit at the Ile Oodua Palace, Ile-Ife.
The historic gathering, which drew prominent Yoruba monarchs, traditional chiefs, and a massive crowd of supporters, marked a turning point in the once strained relationship between the revered monarch and the activist.
