The Curse of The Agaba Idu MUST be cleansed.
In April 1963, Emir Mohammed Sanusi I of Kano plotted the dethronement of then Atta of Igala ,Ameh Oboni (Agaba Idu). The Atta’s offense was his refusal to bow before the Sultan of Sokoto, who was Chairman of then Northern Nigeria Council of Chiefs. This happened during the Council’s meeting in Kaduna, which was the capital of Northern Nigeria back in the day.
The Atta of Igala, Ameh Oboni ,was given the option to remove his crown and bow to the sultan or be removed from office. But the Atta was a god and could not bow to any human being.
Ameh Oboni knew that by the Igala tradition, the implication of his dethronement was that none of his descendants would ever be allowed to be crowned Atta after him. So he accepted to remove his crown and bow.
But the moment he removed his crown, a swam of bees rushed out of his head and chased the chiefs out of their chamber. That ended the plot for that day.
He then walked up to Emir Sanusi and told him plainly that, for attempting to remove him from office, he, Sanusi ,would lose his throne before he traveled from Kaduna back to Kano that day and that any of his descendants that ever ascended the throne would be dethroned.
That evening, as Mohammed Sanusi was chauffeured from Kaduna to his palace in Kano, he heard on the car radio of his own dethronement by the Government of Northern Nigeria.
OMG!!!
Today about 57 years after, Emir Mohammed Sanusi’s grand son Emir Lamido Sanusi II has been dethroned.
