Itura
This is an epic drama series about the nascent kingdom of Ibaokuta and its struggle for peace. Jagungbade, the beloved King’s desire is for a kingdom based on equality, love, justice, prosperity, and peace. Suddenly assailed by a barrage of strange dreams spelling doom for the kingdom, he looks into the White Calabash of Truth for guidance. What he sees so shocks him that he suffers a heart attack. With his last breath, he instructs Awojide, the Chief Priest, to crown his second son, Obafemi, king. An instruction at odds with the founding agreement of the kingdom that anyone from the three ‘tribes’ can become the king. This kingship was to be determined by a vote of everyone in the kingdom.

With the kingdom in turmoil over this, Odejinmi finds out that his betrothed, Moremi is in love with Diekola, and in his bid to kill Diekola, he kills a trainee priest in error thinking it was Diekola. When the dead body is found floating in Ijimirin, the river of life whose waters will be used to wash the king’s body before burial, all hell breaks loose. The culprit has to be found and punished, else the King will not be buried – and an unburied King will bring pestilence and death to the Kingdom.
