In Oyo, worshippers of the Isese tradition have called on the public to show respect for the Alaafin’s throne and to refrain from spreading unverified allegations that could spark tension.
The appeal was made by representatives of the Isese community, who warned that rumours and unfounded claims about the Alaafin could inflame already sensitive political and cultural dynamics in the region.
Oyo State, located in southwestern Nigeria, is home to the Alaafin, the traditional ruler whose authority is deeply respected across the state and beyond. The call for calm reflects the community’s desire to maintain harmony around the historic seat of power.
By urging restraint and fact‑checking, the Isese worshippers aim to prevent unnecessary conflict and preserve the dignity of the Alaafin’s institution.
