OYO State government has debunked viral reports claiming that the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, has passed away.
On Monday night, several outlets claimed that the revered monarch had died at the age of 89.
However, the Oyo State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Wasiu Olatunbosun, refuted the claims, assuring the public that the Olubadan remains in good health.
“Yes, Olubadan is alive, hale, and hearty. I spoke with one of his sons, Prince Olaseke Owolabi Olakulehin, who represented the family at the coronation committee,” Olatunbosun stated.
