Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, has described the death of the Olowu Of Owu Kingdom,
Oba Adegboyega Dosumu, as shocking.
This is coming barely two days after the demise of the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Jimoh Oyewunmi, who joined his ancestors last Sunday.
Iba Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Kehinde Aderemi, said “the news of Kabiesi’s death is shocking”.
He wondered how the Yoruba traditional institution is depleting with the deaths of prominent Obas in the South-West in the last two days.
“I received the news of the death of Kabiesi, the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, the late Oba Adegboyega Dosumu, with high sense of loss”
“Kabiesi is one of the prominent Yoruba monarchs from Abeokuta, Ogun State. He lived a good life and left many good legacies. The palace will hardly forget his unprecedented legacies”
“Yoruba history made prominent mention of the Olowu of Owu as one of the descendants of our great ancestors”.
The Yoruba generalissimo, however, prayed for the Palace, including the wives, and the chiefs, and most importantly the sons and daughters of Owu Kingdom, for God to give them the fortitude to bear the loss.
“God Almighty grants Kabiyesi’s soul eternal rest and the people he left behind the fortitude to bear this loss”, Adams said.
