Ahun Community celebrate Yam Festival in Ekiti

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.
