The Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, has passed on. The revered monarch reportedly joined his ancestors at the age of 90.
Oba Olakulehin, who ascended the throne as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland, was a respected traditional ruler known for his deep commitment to peace, cultural preservation, and the unity of the Ibadan people.
His transition marks the end of an era for the ancient city of Ibadan, where he was widely admired for his wisdom, humility, and fatherly leadership.
Details surrounding the circumstances of his death are still emerging, and official confirmation from the Olubadan-in-Council and Oyo State Government is expected shortly.
The people of Ibadanland and Oyo State at large are mourning the loss of a monarch whose reign was marked by dignity and devotion to tradition.
