The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, has died at the age of 85 in a London hospital.
The monarch was said to have died around 5pm on Tuesday (today).
Relevant officials, who spoke to Punch correspondent on Tuesday night, however, refused to confirm the monarch’s death, saying they did not want to be quoted on the death of the foremost traditional ruler, who was said to have passed away on Tuesday.
“I have heard but please, I don’t want to be quoted on this. People have been calling but nothing has been made public. You see, another person is calling me from London,” the source said before picking the other call.
May his soul RIP Amen
