Several reports claim the burial rites of
Oba Sijuwade,the
Ooni of Ife has reportedly been stalled after the Abobaku fled the
town.The Abobaku is “The one who dies with the king”.He is usually
appointed upon a king’s coronation, and has to be buried with the king
when he eventually dies.His job is to serve the king even in the world
beyond.
The early announcement of the Ooni's death is said to have alerted the
Abobaku of the King's death ,possibly enabling his to escape.
