The palace is yet to be formally notified of Prophetess Naomi Silekunola’s separation from the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, it was learnt on Thursday.

A spokesman, Moses Olafare, said the palace had not yet been informed of Naomi decision as she had announced that she no longer wanted to be addressed as the Queen of Ile-Ife.

“The palace is not aware of the decision of Olori,” he told The Nation

“Kabiyesi has not briefed me on the matter but I will get back to you soon.” He said.
