Drama as US officials attempt to quench Sango’s fire

There was drama at the Smithsonian Museum of African Art in Washington DC, United States, when fire service officials responded to an emergency during a Sango rendition for Adeyeye Enitan, ooni of Ife, who is currently on a tour in the country.

According to GoldMyne TV, the incident happened on Tuesday.

Fire and smoke from the traditional performance led to the alarm, but explanations from the organisers made the firefighters suspend action.

However, they reportedly left their equipment on standby in the event of an unlikely situation.

Sango, the god of thunder, is one of the powerful deities in the African traditional religion.

The monarch is not expected to return to the country until next month.

Accompanied by Wuraola Otiti, his wife, the monarch has visited different locations in the US and pictures have been widely circulated on social media.
