. The Deji 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.
