Ode-Irele (Irele) is a town in Ondo State of Nigeria, West Africa. It is the administrative headquarters for the Irele Local Government Area. Ode-Irele is located by road west of the town of Okitipupa.
There is a traditional king (oyewoga) of Ode-Irele, and he comes from one of the three ruling families, in succession, the Orunbemekun, the Jagboju, and the Opetusi.
On 15 April 2015 a group of young men broke into the inner sanctum of the shrine to Molokun, the god of the land, in Ode-Irele. Their objective was apparently to obtain certain items of spiritual power. This was followed by the deaths of twenty youths in the community due to methanol poisoning from drinking a locally distilled brew containing unidentidied herbs. Chief Moses Enimade, the king of Ode-Irele, believes that the deaths were in punishment for the sacrilege.
