The Deji of Akure of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, the monarch that presides over Akureland, the Ondo State capital is dead.

Details of his passage was sketchy as of press time but our correspondent learnt on Sunday that the monarch died around 4am as a result of an unknown complication.

The 63-year-old first class paramount ruler ascended the throne about three years ago after his predecessor was deposed as a result of a street fight with one of the former monarch’s wives.

A highly competent source confirmed the death but said such announcement could only be made after seven days in accordance with tradition.

Details later.

For this calamity to end, I think the people of Akure should do the right thing, recall the previous Deji of Akure that was dethroned.. If one Oba isn't dead another one shouldn't be ascend the throne . It a tradition, any attempt to float this leads to premature death and further calamities in the land... The people of Owo tried it and failed....

You mean the wife beating Oba? He downgraded the culture by fighting in public. I learnt that wife is dead now

The Late Deji of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adegboye Adesida, Afunbiowo II



We need serious prayers in Ondo State to be sincere... the death rate of prominent indigenes is just too alarming!

nerodenero: Spot on but the former Deji was a disgrace!!!

yes the former Deji was a disgrace but the kingmakers should have chosen a regent till the oba's demise. Then they can choose a new Deji

What are you saying friend?? A ruler that stays on the street and extort from citizens should be reinstated? A king that takes possession unlawfully what does not belong to him be it your wife, land or valuables??

Am sorry I don't think so!

By the way, the case of Olowo of Owo that you referred to was a very different issue and a serious one. He wasn't deposed then for behaviours a king isn't expected to exhibit. His dethronement and eventual barnishing had political undertone then. Moreover, the king that was later installed then spent more than 25 years before he 'waja' . That was when the deposed king came back, at that time, the political heat was almost gone!

He even spent less than 5 years if i am not mistaken before he joined his ancestors too.
