The Deji of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, has passed away. The monarch died in the early hours of this morning in Akure, Ondo State after a brief illness. His passing will be officially announced in seven days time according to tradition.
Oba Adesida became Deji of Akure just three years ago in 2010 after the previous Oba, Oluwadare Adesina Adepoju, was dethroned and banished by the Ondo state government for physically attacking his wife and pouring an unknown substance on her skin.
Oba Adesida was 63 years old. May his soul rest in peace.. Amen
