Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, dies at 83.

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has joined his ancestors.
He was aged 83 years
The news of the death of the flamboyant king occurred in the wee hours of Friday at the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti.
According to the palace sources, the remains of the top Yoruba traditional ruler were brought to Oyo in the early hours of Saturday and traditional rites have begun.
The late monarch, known for his propensity for marrying many beautiful young wives, was the longest-reigning Alaafin ever, having ruled for 52 years.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, is expected to make an official announcement upon receiving the report of the monarch’s passing from the Bashorun of Oyo, Yusuf Akinade, the head of the ‘Oyo Mesi’, who will now lead Oyo before a new Alaafin is installed.
The monarch had been sick and a plan had been made to fly him abroad before he passed on late Friday night.
A source familiar with the medical travel plan said his tickets and those of a few wives were already procured.
According to Premium Times, his death came after the two other senior Oyo State monarchs – the Olubadan of Ibadan, Saliu Adetunji, and the Soun of Ogbomoso, Jimoh Oyewumi – died.
Late Oba Adeyemi’s predecessor, Bello Ladigbolu, was from the Agunloye House.
