Ahun community in Efon Local Government Area of Ekiti State has
marked this year’s Odun Ijesu (New Yam Festival), bringing together sons
and daughters of the town.
The event, which held at the palace of Alahun (Chief) of Ahun in
Efon, marked the traditional cleansing of the new yam to sanctify it for
consumption.
The monarch of the town, Oba Jacob Adelowo, said: “Until after
celebrations this night, no Ahun indigenes wherever they are can ever
eat yam and oil”
He urged the state government to consider making Oke Ahun community
one of the tourist attractions in the state, such as the Ojubo Oodua and
Olutokin shrine.
