This came following the death of the Alaafin Of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III. Commenting, the Alaafin’s media aide, Mr Bode Durojaiye, expressed shock over the demise of the traditional ruler. Durojaiye described Oba Adeyemi as a great traditional ruler, who had contributed immensely to the development of Oyo town, Oyo State and Nigeria. Durojaiye said that before the late Oba Adeyemi ascended the throne, Oyo Town was “not as developed as it is today”. Some palace workers in separate interviews with NAN, said that the traditional ruler already had a premonition of his death a few weeks back.
