The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, has threatened to banish any trader, market men, or women who sell food items and other essential

commodities beyond the reach of the common people in his domain.

He warned that anyone caught instigating the hiking of prices of goods risks outright banishment from Ile-Ife. Oba Ogunwusi also ordered that a portion of pepper should henceforth be sold between the rate of N100 and N200. “Also, anyone who threatens or coerces another to sell their foodstuffs or goods at a particular price will be dealt with. Everyone should sell at their own price.

“Similarly, any outsider who comes to trade in Ile-Ife should be welcomed. Anybody who chases an outsider who came to trade away will be sent out of Ile-Ife.”
