The
traditional ruler of Ode community in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo
State, Sunday Boboye has revealed that his desire to be a feudal lord over his
town made him to join the Ogboni fraternity, a sect he has now renounced after
10 years of joining the society.
“I
wanted powers to face the mighty and powerful people who have usurped my
fathers’ land. To do this, I needed to accept one of the heist titles in the
land and which was my family’s royal entitlement. It is the Ajagun (General at
war) of Ode land”, the 45-year-old ex-Ogboni chief stated.
Once
initiated into the brotherhood, Boboye possessed dreaded powers that not only
made him very popular in Ondo State but also made many to fear and tremble
before him. But that was before he had a challenging encounter with a Christian
recently.
Last
weekend, a team of Christians and the reporter were invited to the palace of
Boboye in Ode, Ondo state to witness how the former Ogboni chief who rose to
the rank of Egan Oke (meaning an elder in the Ogboni fraternity) denounced his
membership and burnt all the traditional deities he had served when he was an
herbalist.
“I
am the traditional head of Ode community. I give glory to God for saving me and
making me to be alive today. The lord
Jesus has arrested me and saved from evil association with Satan. I was an
herbalist, a powerful one for that matter. And I am well known in Ondo State.
Everyone respects and fears me as the Ajagun of Ode community. If I decreed
that somebody would die tomorrow, that is what will happen. The person will
die. If I tell somebody that he would not eat the next day, the person must be
prepared because that is what would happen. And if I decreed that someone would
not sleep in his house the following night. It also would also happen. I was
doing all these using the dark powers bestowed on me by serving the devil. But
today, God has taken me out of the darkness”, Boboye declared while denouncing
his old association before his people who trooped out to see their once dreaded
occult grand master and leader now wining and dining with Christians.
“Many
people in Ode are surprised to see me with members of the Lord’s Chosen church
and other Christians today and even wearing this apron, because they know who I
was. They know about the tremendous power I wielded as grandmaster in occult
kingdom.
“My
father, Pa Boboye Oluwasegun has been a pastor in The Apostolic Church for
sometime. He had tried on many occasions to lead me to Christ but I have been
turning deaf ears to him. This is why we used to quarrel sometimes. Whenever, I
organized the Egungun festival, yam festival or Osun or Ogun festivals my
father used to quarrel with me and asked me to drop the worship of ancestral
gods but I turned deaf ears to him because the ancestral gods were giving me
powers.
Praise God. You can read the full story Here
