Barely two months after the death of the revered Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, one of his wives, Olori Kafayat, has also died on Friday.
Olori Kafayat Adeyemi, who was the fourth Olori of the late Oba Adeyemi III, was the mother of Prince Adebayo Adeyemi (D’Gov), who is the chairman of the Oyo State Local Government Pensions Board.
Details of her death were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, but the Director of Media and Publicity at the Alaafin Palace, Mr Bode Durojaye, confirmed it to her demise.
He said, “She died in the United States of America”
Oba Adeyemi had died on Friday April 22 at the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, after a brief illness at the age of 83.
Oyo is yet to get another Alaafin after the demise of Oba Adeyemi.
Before her demise, she was popularly known as Iya Aguo or Iya Ibeji in Oyo Kingdom.
