Mixed reactions have trailed the unpleasant news that befell the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Friday. A building apartment in the palace of the Ife monarch has been razed down by fire. According to reports online, the courtyard of the palace was gutted by fire at about 11:30 pm on Friday, April 28, shortly after the electrical appliances in the affected apartment exploded.
