Arrival of late Olubadan’s remains for burial

Hundreds of sympathizers thronged the Aliiwo ancestral home of the late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, to witness his burial.

The remains of the late monarch were on Friday interred at around 4.30 pm, according to Islamic rites.

The late monarch, who reigned for two years, died at the age of 81 on Thursday at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Oyo State, after a brief illness.

There was a lying-in-state at Mapo Hall from 12 noon to 1 pm before the remains of the monarch were moved to his residence in Aliwo, Iwo road for burial after prayers.

Naija News reports that the Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin is next in line to the throne following the death of the first-class monarch.

The former lawmaker will be crowned as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland subject to the approval of the Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde.
