Olu Irame was a Nigerian traditional ruler who was the 3rd Olu of Warri.[1] He was the second son to Olu Ginuwa and succeeded his brother Olu Ogbowuru as the 3rd Olu of Warri.[2][3] It is stated that he banished the three gods (Ibirikimo, Otueke, and Ike) and their worshipers from Ode-Itsekiri-Olu because of their incessant "noise-making".[citation needed] The gods and their worshipers moved to Orugbo, a community about 2 miles from Ode-Itsekiri-olu.[4][5]
