His Royal Majesty, The Olubadan of Ibadaland, Oba Moshood Olalekan Balogun, has passed on at the age of 82.
Born in 1942, Oba Balogun, who was a Fourth Republic Senator, represented Oyo Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly between 1999 and 2003.
He ascended the throne on March 11, 2022, after the demise of Oba Saliu Adetunji, Aje Oguguniso III. Adetunji, 93, had died on January 2, 2022, after reigning from March 4, 2016.
It was gathered that died shortly after being admitted for treatment at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan on Thursday evening.
The current Balogun, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin is next in line to ascend the Olubadan throne like his ancestors once had in an elaborate traditional ceremony which would commence after a 21-day mourning period for the late Oba.
