FocalPoint Reports reliably gathered that the Ulefunta festival is the period when the Deji goes into a seven-day traditional seclusion and when in all Akure Kingdom, there is no celebration or beating of drums of any kind.

it was further gathered that when the Deji comes out from seclusion after seven days, there is then a celebration and Gbagi was installed as one of their traditional Chiefs on the 9th of October 2021.

Much show of love and celebration as Aare-Atunluse Kenneth Gbagi bonds with fellow chiefs.


Traditional fund raising to give all present at the occasion a sense of Belonging
