See photos of Ooni of Ife's former wife Olori Wuraola performing the animal blood rite during their wedding

A photo emerged today showing the Ooni of Ife's new wife, Evangelist Naomi performing some rites while being welcomed into the palace. She walked on what was said to be animal blood and the Ooni's palace in a statement said necessary rites have been fully performed.

Naomi, who runs her ministry in Akure, was however criticized online, with some social media users asking if it was permittable in Christianity to undergo such.

It however appears to be a necessity rite as photos online show the Ooni's former wife, Wuraola, now Zaynab, performing the same rites while being welcomed to the palace in 2016.
