The Islamic Burial rites of His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Ogbagba II, GCON, the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, today at his Ijebu Ode residence.
RECALL: The Awujalẹ initiated a bill titled “State Traditional Rulers (Installation and Burial Rites) Bill 2020” that was sent to the house of assembly, the assembly passed the bill, and Governor Dapo Abiodun signed it into law.
“Of course this is without prejudice to traditional rites that is meant to be performed by the customary, but it clarifies and removes any ambiguity about the fact that the families of our Kabiyesis (monarch) now have a say in how they want our royal fathers to be buried and I think this is very laudable” – Governor @DapoAbiodunCON (Jan 2022)
