Deji of Akure dies at 63

The Deji-in-council has officially announced the demise of the Dejiof Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida. He was reported to have passed on today. The 63-year-old first class paramount ruler ascended the throne about three years ago after his predecessor was deposed as a result of a street fight with one of the former monarch’s wives. A highly competent source confirmed the death but said such announcement could only be made after seven days in accordance with tradition.
