A narrative detailing how the King's enemies tried to poison him, but Orunmila prescribed an ebo that caused the King to securely lock his doors at sundown, preventing the entry of the assassins.
A King escapes assassination through the spiritual 'locking' of his palace under the sign of Òdí Méjì.
Proves that Òdí Méjì is the 'Gatekeeper' and the 'Locked Door.' It teaches that being 'closed off' or 'restrictive' is sometimes the difference between life and death. Not every door is meant to stay open.
Enemies of the crown plotted to enter the palace at night to poison the King's water. Orunmila saw the danger through Òdí Méjì. He did not tell the King about the poison; he only told him to perform a sacrifice to 'Gbe Idi' (The Seat/Base) and to close the main palace doors exactly as the sun touched the horizon. The King obeyed. The assassins arrived later that night but found the heavy doors bolted for the first time in years. They could not enter, and their plot was discovered and dismantled by morning.
