After confirmation, the Eletu returns to his sanctuary where he consults the Ifa Oracle with names of all of the eligible males from the Lagos Ruling Houses in order to receive a divine pronouncement.
[3] Eletu Odibo, as Chief Kingmaker, took offense at Kosoko's arrogant decision and thereafter used his position to frustrate his multiple Obaship bids in the years to come.
Since Kosoko was now unacceptable to Eletu Odibo, the Kingmakers invited the exiled Adele home from Badagry to rule as Oba of Lagos for a second term.
[5] Eletu's personal vendetta led Kosoko and his followers to pursue a failed armed rising known as Ogun Ewe Koko ("leaves of the coco-yam war").
[6] Eletu Odibo then intensified the hatred between both camps by digging up Kosoko's mother's remains and throwing them into the Lagos lagoon.
Fighting broke out in the battle named Ogun Olomiro (Salt Water War) resulting in the Kosoko faction laying siege to the Oba's Palace for three weeks.
