The monarch–the Amunijio of Ijio in the Iwajowa
Local Government Area of Oyo state, Oba Okunade Adegoke reportedly died
Wednesday in a road accident after his car collided with a truck. The Oba
was driving himself from Iwere-Ile to his kingdom around 10pm Wednesday
when he lost control and crashed into the truck. The monarch was said to
be the only occupant in the car and died at the scene of the accident
An eye witness said
“From what we could piece
together at the scene of the accident, it seemed the kabiyesi was trying to
avoid a vehicle when he ran into the truck. Help did not come immediately and
by the time he was found, he had died from his injuries.”
His death came barely a week after he was arraigned before
the Okeho Magistrate’s Court for allegations bordering on threat to live,
destruction of family businesses, using thugs to forcibly take possession of a
stretch of land that belonged to another family and destroying a farmland
which had tree crops worth N10m.
