Ikeja Oba-elect Dies after Six Years without Installation
The 65-year-old monarch-in-waiting, who had been clamouring to be installed for close to six years, reportedly died last Monday after a brief illness, and had been buried according to Muslim rites.
The association’s official, who craved anonymity owing to the sensitivity of the issue, said members of the group were currently meeting with a view to communicating the death of Adeleye to the Lagos State Government officially. Adeleye was nominated Oba-elect of Ikeja in December 2014, following the death of the then monarch, Oba Maruf Amore.
Only recently, the late Adeleye had spoken to THISDAY, during which he appealed to the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to coronate him, after having to wait for close to six years.
