Traditionalists in Owo gathered to rain curses on Betty Akeredolu, the wife of the late Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, for allegedly referring to the Olowo of Owo as a "Baby Oba".
This comment sparked outrage among the Owo community and traditionalists, who felt disrespected by her words. In a video that has gone viral on various social media channels, in response to her comments, traditionalists in Owo performed rituals and curses, which Betty Akeredolu has dismissed, saying she wasn't intimidated and would return the curses to their senders.
Women groups and traditional leaders condemned Betty Akeredolu's actions, demanding an apology for her disrespectful remarks towards the Olowo and the traditional institution.
Recall the controversy started when the Owo community demolished a memorial monument, which Betty Akeredolu felt was a symbol of her husband's legacy. She accused the Olowo of Owo of betraying her husband's memory by allegedly supporting the demolition.
