As reported by The Nation on Thursday, September 12, Oba Aromolaran was admitted at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun state.
The newspaper said “impeccable sources in the palace” confirmed that the monarch passed away on Wednesday, September 11.
A family source said:
“We are crying and mourning presently. We are not even picking up calls from outsiders but I can’t ignore your own that is why.
“They are moving personal belongings of the king out of the palace as I am speaking with you.”
Amid the alleged death of the monarch, another source said:
“Operatives of Nigeria Police and Department of State Service (DSS) have taken over the palace as we have also shut the gates.”
TheTalk.NG reports that Oba Aromolaran, 87, is the first Nigerian king to hold a PhD and his first book, Economics for West Africa, was published in 1966 in collaboration with some friends.
Born on October 13, 1937, into the royal household of Oba Iluyomade Aromolaran I—a former ruler of Ijeshaland—Oba Aromolaran is the last born of his mother.
