In a formal ceremony held on Thursday, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, presented the staff of office to the newly appointed Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Olawale Oyebola Adeyeri III, Ajirotutu I, marking his official installation as the 30th king of the ancient town.
The historic event, held in Iseyin, an ancient town with a population of over 200,000 residents and serving as the headquarters of a local government, was a significant milestone for the community.
The appointment of Oba Sefiu Olawale Oyebola Adeyeri III as the new Aseyin followed a meticulous selection process by the town’s 10 kingmakers. He succeeded his predecessor, the late Oba Abdganiy Salawudeen Adekunle, who passed away in 2022.
Born on April 6, 1969, to the esteemed family of Prince Kareem Oladejo Oyebola and Princess Afusat Olabisi Oyebola of Eyinade Royal Compound of Akando, Oba Sefiu hails from the revered royal lineage of Aseyin of Iseyinland.
