Respected and renowned Yoruba monarch, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, is not dead, contrary to the obnoxious rumours flying left, right and center.
The Awujale of Ijebu Land, according to some insiders, is alive and well and kicking.
Said his cousin and prominent journalist, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, currently MD, NAN:
‘The Awujale, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona is alive. He is right now in Lagos. Nigeria’s rumour mongers should stop spreading falsehood. This is how Governor Fayose recklessly killed President Muhammadu Buhari many times, only to be put to shame. For journalists, please check your story before going public.’
‘If you have wrongly posted that Awujale was dead, be humble enough to give an update that he is alive!’, added Tunde Oladunjoye, also very close to him.
Onanuga, also from the same ruling house with the Kabiyesi, revealed that he has been laughing over the rumour ever since it broke.
Born in 1934, Oba Adetona, Ogbagba 11, ascended the throne of his forefathers in 1960 and has repeatedly garnered accolades and applause over the way and manner he has been carrying himself and his office.
