OndoX Update- Ondo High Chief Reveals It's As A Result Of Sacrilege Committed Against Molokun Diety

Laboratory tests have confirmed that the strange
illness ravaging the Ode-Irele community in Ondo
state, which is now known as #OndoX, is not Ebola
virus disease.

Samples taken from victims and tested in a
laboratory in Lagos tested negative to Ebola and
five other deadly diseases;  Yellow Fever, Lassa
Fever Virus, Rift Valley Fever Virus, Dengue Virus,
West Nile Virus.
High Chief Moses Enimade, the Oyewoga of Ode
Irele in Ondo State, says the recent death of 20
youths in the town was caused by sacrilege done to
Molokun, god of the land.
Enimade, next in command to Oba Cornelius
Olanrewaju-Lebi, stated this during interview in
Irele today, Saturday 18th April with News Agency
of Nigeria.
He debunked the rumour that the deaths were
caused by strange disease or Ebola virus
It will be recalled that no fewer than 20 youths
reportedly died of severe headaches and blindness
in the town recently.
Enimade contended that some stubborn youths
broke into the inner room of Molokun Shrine on
April 15.
“Molokun is a deity of the land, only the Chief
Priest and High Chief Gboguron are qualified to
enter the shrine.’’
The chief said the youths entered the shrine and
made away with traditional items in a bid to
acquire extra-ordinary powers and engage in
money ritual.
“They were not qualified to enter the room
(shrine). They had to face death penalty’’; he
emphasised.
The Oyewoga said it he could not remember the
last time Malokun or any other gods had to strike
like this in the area.
According to him, there is no community or town
without its own culture and tradition; what
happened in Irele is the judgement of the gods on
stubborn youths.
“Even the Kabiesi himself is not permitted to enter
the Molokun Shrine’s inner room except the Chief
Priest and High Chief Gboguron. Sacrifice must be
performed before they can enter.
“Because these youths want to be rich at all costs,
they entered the sacred place and made away with
traditional items and 20 of them have died as a
result of their desperate acts,
“We have to appease the gods or else many will still
die and we have to bury them according to
tradition. Their corpses belong to the gods and will
be exhumed if buried by their families.’’
He restated that the deaths were not caused by
diseases or ebola as widely speculated.
“The death caused by Molokun is characterised by
severe headache and blindness.
“Proverbs 29:1 in the Bible say: `he that had been
reproved and hardened his neck shall suddenly be
destroyed without remedy; so youths of nowadays
must be careful’’’, Enimade said.
Some residents who spoke appealed to the chief
priest to make necessary atonement to avert
calamity in the town as it has given the town a
bad name.
