The monarch married Oronsen, a queen who was, unknown to the king, an <a href="/wiki/Orisha" title="Orisha">orisha</a>. She enriched the monarch and she was loved by him as a result. <a href="/wiki/Queen_Oronsen" title="Queen Oronsen">Queen Oronsen</a> declared that certain activities were taboo.<sup id="cite_ref-NationOwo_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NationOwo-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>No one was allowed to grind <a href="/wiki/Okra" title="Okra">okra</a> (for stew) in her presence or pour water into the yard.

Becoming weary, she stopped at a place called "Ugbo Laja" where she was discovered and attempts were made to persuade her to return to the palace. Her refusal frustrated the guards, who forcefully captured her. But she escaped them and disappeared into "Igbo Oluwa", now a sacred forest, leaving her head ties (oja) at Ugbo Laja. The guards later returned them to King Rerengejen.
