Ooni of Ife is a fraud planted by Usman Dan Fodio’s descendants —Simon Ekpa

Self-styled Prime Minister of the Biafran Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), Simon Ekpa, has branded reverred Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi as a fraud who was planted on the throne by descendants of Usman Dan Fodio who was a Fulani scholar, Islamic religious teacher and revolutionary who founded the Sokoto Caliphate.

Ekpa who made the assertions on a post on his X handle on Friday, was responding to a series of tweets by one Omotayo Williams with the handle @KadunaResident, who had accused the Biafran agitator of being a double agent who was not working for the interest of the Igbos but for his own selfish interest.

In another tweet, Williams said Ekpa was not a true disciple of the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, because he, (Ekpa), was a mercenary strategically planted to destabilize and create chaos in the south east.
