The monarch, who died at age 101 passed away Tuesday evening after he reportedly lost consciousness. It was gathered last night that the monarch’s corpse has been taken to a morgue as at press time. Other details about Oba Odulana’s death were sketchy as at press time.
When contacted, one of his sons, Prof. Femi Lana, declined comments on the incident. Oba Odulana mounted the throne in 2007 as the 39th Olubadan of Ibadan land. He was the 17th Olubadan since the title was elevated from Baale Ibadan to the Olubadan in 1930. The first traditional ruler to bear the new title was Oba Okunola Abass who reigned from 1930-1946.
Next in line to the throne is the Balogun of Ibadan land, High Chief Saliu A.O. Adetunji.
