Another Prominent Oyo Oba, Aseyin Of Iseyin Is Dead

Oyo state has once again recorded another sad event as Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Adekunle Salawudeen, has joined his ancestors.

It was gathered that the monarch’s death occurred on Sunday, making it the fourth of such occurrence among senior traditional rulers in Oyo State in eight months.

It would be recalled that the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Jimoh Ajagungbade Oyewumi died in December 2021, followed by the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who, respectively, joined their ancestors, as the Yoruba customarily say when a monarch dies, in January and April 2022.

Though, the exact details of his death is still sketchy as at the time of filing this report, it was however gathered that he had been sick for sometime.
