In an unexpected turn of events, the serene atmosphere of Idatto Uzairue community was shattered as the much-anticipated coronation of Mallam Jibril Adamu Oshonebo as the sixth king came to an abrupt halt, suspended indefinitely.
The suspension has plunged the community into a state of chaos and uncertainty.
Chief Hassan, a prominent figure in the community, announced the suspension, citing a failure to comply with the essential formalities required for ascending to the throne. While acknowledging Mallam Jibril Adamu Oshonebo’s age, love, and respect within the community, Chief Hassan emphasized the sacred nature of tradition, insisting that all protocols must be observed meticulously.
Idatto Uzairue, a predominantly Muslim community, follows a stringent tradition in the selection of their kings. Before a coronation can proceed, tradition is deemed crucial to maintaining the religious homogeneity of the community.
Rumors circulating within the community suggest that Mallam Jibril Adamu Oshonebo’s daughter, whose identity remains undisclosed, converted from Islam to Christianity after her marriage. This revelation, if true, poses a significant obstacle to Mallam Jibril Adamu Oshonebo’s ascent to the throne, causing further unrest among the residents.
The community now stands at a crossroads, awaiting guidance from the council of elders. The elders are expected to address the community in the coming weeks, shedding light on the future of leadership and governance in Idatto Uzairue.
As the uncertainty continues, the community remains on edge, anxiously anticipating the announcement of what the next line of action would be.
According to a close source, The Jibril family is not willing to let the kingship pass by into another family which brings more chaos into the already tense situation.
A statement from the council of elders is expected by residents who are hoping for clarity and resolution in the turbulent days that lie ahead for Idatto Uzairue.
The fate of Mallam Jibril Adamu Oshonebo’s coronation remains uncertain, casting a shadow over the community’s future.
