The Deji of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, died in the early hours of today in Akure, Ondo State. Information on how the monarch died are sketchy. His passing is likely to be officially announced in seven days time according to tradition.  Oba Adesida became Deji of Akure just four years ago in 2010 after the prior Oba, Oluwadare Adesina Adepoju, was dethroned and banished by the Ondo state government for physically attacking his wife and pouring an unknown substance on her skin.  Oba Adesida was 63 years old. May his soul rest in peace.. Ase
