Olosunta is one of the hills that mark the landscape of Ikere LGA, with Orole (Wikipedia). It has a priesthood: in 2021 the Ogoga's chiefs described the Olukere, whose title is older than the Ogoga's, as 'a priest of Olosunta', citing a 1987 commission (Peoples Gazette). The hill's own traditions and festival are not described in a source read.
