Oba Abdul Olakidan Adetoyese, head of the Aborigine Ogboni worldwide, has promised that he will cleanse Nigeria of the novel Coronavirus.
Adetoyese said the disease is not an ordinary disease, saying it demands spiritual solution.
In a press statement signed by the spiritual leader of the cult and made available to journalists in Osogbo on Friday, he revealed that he is willing to appeasing the gods over the situation in the country.
He added that offering propitiation to cleanse the land will eliminate the pandemic, which has defied scientific solution.
“I am ready to appease the gods through rituals in some selected cities within the South West region as a means of solving the epidemic,” he said.
“The disease was not an ordinary one and it demands spiritual solution to send it packing. Such terrible epidemic in the past had always been tackled through spiritual means even when there was no medical or scientific know-how.
“I, therefore offer to embark on spiritual activities to curb the disease in the country, I am also willing to meet with some selected Governors in the South West on ways to avert the spread of the disease.”
He called on traditional rulers and other religious leaders, especially Muslims and Christians, to also embark on spiritual exercises to curb the pandemic that is ravaging the entire world.
