No fewer than thirty (30) princes who indicated interest in the Alaafin of Oyo stool have been screened.

The thirty aspirants were screened at the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo by the Oyo Mesi.

Bode Durojaiye, Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin of Oyo, confirmed that 30 contestants have now been screened as the search for the next Alaafin intensifies.

Durojaiye added that armed operatives of the Amotekun and the Police from the Atiba Division mounted security to prevent intruders during the screening which took place at the palace of the Alaafin.

The screening, he explained was conducted by members of the Oyo Traditional Council (Oyo Mesi), led by Chairman and the Basorun of Oyo, High Chief Yussuf Akinade Ayoola Layinka 1.

Durojaiye said on Friday that
“The contestants who arrived one after the other to the Palace and accompanied by some of their relations interacted mutually and embraced one another devoid of ill feelings, rancour and animosity.

“The first part of the screening exercise ends on the 8th of September, 2022.

“There will not be screening on Friday, to pave the way for the Jumat prayer.

“While the second and the last part will commence on Monday, 12th till Thursday, 15th 2022”.
