Shortly after the very recent incident that transpired between the Oba of Lagos and the Ooni of Ife, it was gathered that there was a fire outbreak at the palace of the Oba of Lagos during the afternoon of yesterday, 2nd of May, 2017. A few people believes this to be the repercussion of the ostensible disrespect portrayed by the Oba of Lagos when he seemingly snubbed the Ooni of Ife "the supreme leader of the yoruba land".

A section of the palace of Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, in the Iga Iduganran area of Lagos Island has been gutted by fire.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the fire started from an air condition in an apartment inside the palace, destroying furniture and other household items in the room.
It was gathered that the incident started around 1:30 p.m. with smokes billowing to the sky, which attracted a crowd to the area.
The palace gate was, however, shut to the crowd as firefighters from the Lagos State Fire Service, Shari Iganmu and Ilupeju stations, battled to put it out.
A senior emergency official, who spoke to a correspondent on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident, saying the fire had been put out.

Following the public saga that happened last week, its been reported that the Ooni palace have threatened to summon the ancestors if Oba Akiolu refuses to apologise.
