The Deji of Akure Oba Adebiyi Adesida is dead. He died yesterday at the age
of 63 after three years on the throne. Oba Adebiyi died of an undisclosed
illness.
A family source revealed that Oba Adesida last attended a public function
in Lagos where he celebrated the marriage ceremony of his son, Adetunji
Oluwagbemiga two weeks ago.
A source in the palace, answering the phone call, said in a local dialect:
‘Oba ti w'aja’ meaning the ‘the King is dead’.
It was also disclosed that the monarch died in his palace. The late monarch
was born into the Ojijigogun ruling family.
Oba Adebiyi Adesida ascended the throne on August 12, 2010. He was recalled
from London shortly after the former Deji was dethroned for abusing his wife.
May his soul rest in peace.
