Obaro Of Kabba, Olobayo Dies At 71 by Iamlordgee(m): 8:57pm On May 22, 2016 |
Lokoja - The Obaro of Kabba in Kogi State, Oba
Michael Olobayo has died, aged 71 years.
Announcing the demise of the first class
traditional ruler in Kabba on Sunday, the
Obadofin of Oweland, Chief Mike Yusuff, said he
died on May 21.
News of his death had been making the rounds
for sometime. Palace sources said that Olobayo
died after about three months of illness.
The late monarch, who ascended the throne on
Oct. 17, 1985, hailed from the Ajibohokun clan of
Ilajo ruling house and was the Chairman of the
Kabba Traditional Council.
In consonance with the tradition of the town,
Yusuff announced three weeks of mourning in
honour of the departed monarch.
He said there would be meetings on daily basis
with other chiefs on how to give Olobayo a
befitting burial, urging residents to go about their
normal activities without any fear.
Obadofin also called for prayers for the late ruler,
members of his immediate family and the town
in general.
He described Olabayo’s tenure as peaceful and a
period of progress and development for Kabba
and its indigenes. (NAN) http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/obaro-kabba-olobayo-dies-71/ |
