There was a palpable tension on Thursday night after the Ooni if Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, was stuck in the lift of a five-star hotel in Lagos for an unexpected time frame.
The monarch was said to have visited the Intercontinental hotel in Victoria Island to attend an event in company of his wife, Naomi, and other members of his entourage.
He had gone to watch ‘Queen Moremi: The Musical’, a stage play, before the incident occurred.
In video clips circulating the internet, the traditional ruler appeared to have been stranded in the lift while calls were made for the staff of the hotel to come to his rescue.
This resulted in the loom of panic as the remaining members of his entourage were also seen adopting different approaches to bring him out.
After “nearly 15 minutes” of yelling and drama from the ooni’s people, he was eventually evacuated from the elevator through the basement.
