The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, has passed away.

It was gathered that the late monarch passed on in the early hours of Monday, July 7, 2025.

The demise of Oba Olakulehin, born July 5, 1935, is coming barely two days after celebrating his 90th birthday.

The late Olakulehin was installed as the 43rd Olubadan on June 12, 2024, after succeeding Oba Balogun

A source close to the Olubadan-In-Council confided in our correspondent in Ibadan, the state capital, that “we received the message that the paramount ruler passed away this morning. He has joined his forefathers. Though it has to be officially announced by the state government.”

Another palace source, who confirmed the news, said the Otun Olubadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, who is the next in line to become Olubadan, is currently out of the country and he is expected back.
