A lot has been said about the messy feud between two high society ladies, Iyalode Adunni Bankole and Joko Oni, even as the feud is still firing from all angle, but only very few really can tell what the bone of contention is between them. News of the People gathered that the feud between two former friends actually started as a result of competition about who takes the front row in high society parties. But those close to the erstwhile friends disclosed that what ignited the war between them was a Lagos-based popular white garment church pastor in Alausa area of Ikeja, Lagos. Reports have it that when Joko Oni joined the church, she became an instant prominent member of the church considering her social status. Sources added that everybody in the church adored her and that she enjoyed every bit of the VIP status accorded her. However, real trouble was said to have started when Iyalode of Gbeguru, Abeokuta, Ogun State, joined the church and the pastor and church members shifted their attention to her as a top society lady that she and whose step-son, Rtd. Hon. Dimeji Bankole occupies an important position in the country.
Sources told News of the People that Oni became envious Adunni Bankole and she started seeing her as a threat to her position in the church. The cold war between the two society ladies was said to have divided the church as some member became loyal to Oni, while others pitched their tent with Adunni Bankole. At a point, rumour mongers took over and there was a story in the church that Adunni Bankole sent some people to remove Oni’s chair from the church. We even heard that the war became so serious that the two women started attacking each other spiritually. Adunni Bankole reportedly conceded defeat and left the church. But as we say in this part of the world, those who fight and run away, live to fight another day. But information available to News of the People is anything to believe, then the pastor has begged Adunni Bankole to return to the church and that he is now locked in a bitter war with Oni who sees him a traitor.
