OONI’s NEW PRINCE: PALACE DISOWNS VIRAL PICTURES, SAYS TRADITIONAL RITES ONGOING
This is to inform the general public that the picture of the new Prince has not been released to the public. We equally want all Nigerians home and abroad to disregard the two viral pictures in circulation misrepresenting the newly born heir to the ancient sacred throne of the Ooni who joined the Ogunwusi royal family recently.
His father, Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife who has the sole right to make the face of the baby public is yet to do so, as essential traditional rites to formally welcome the Prince in accordance to our culture and traditions are still ongoing.
The Arole Oduduwa wishes to unequivocally and emphatically state that the pictures are not that of his son, he wants the public to ignore the social media circulation of the pictures capable of threatening the privacy of the babies in those pictures and their parents.
Journalists and bloggers are hereby urged to always verify sources of news materials and pictures before publishing or posting so as to avoid ‘Invasion of Privacy’ which is an actionable offense punishable by law.
The child and mother doing perfectly well as the palace remains agog with daily jubilations and congratulatory visits.
Signed;
Comrade Moses Olafare,
Director, Media & Public Affairs,
Ooni’s Palace.
