The remains of Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade, was on Wednesday said to be in Ile'gbo, the coronation place for Ooni despite denials.

Also, the family of Oba Sijuade were said to have concluded packing of their personal belongings out of the palace.

Ile 'gbo, according to a palace source, is located within Ile Oodua, as Ooni's palace called.

An Ife traditional title holder, who spoke with our correspondent but does not want his name in print, said: "The body arrived the place and was received by members of Isoro cult early this week.

"His journey to the throne started from that place called Ile'gbo. That is where he was installed Ooni. That is the place anyone that will succeed him will also be taken for installation.”
