The corpse of the paramount ruler was committed to mother earth according to the Islamic rites around 8.40pm.

LEADERSHIP reports that the first-class monarch died on Sunday morning at a private medical facility in Abuja.

The secretary of Ebiraland Traditional Council, Alhaji Salihu Sule, explained that the burial could not be held earlier in the day because of unforeseen challenges, noting that the corpse left Abuja late and only arrived in Okene around 6.45 p.m.

“On arrival, there was a family meeting that was held before the final internment according to Islamic rites,’’ Sule said.

Sheik Salihu Ebere, the Chief Imam of Ebiraland who led the burial rites and prayers for the repose of the soul of the late Ohinoyi, prayed God to forgive the royal father of his sins.

The cleric said since death was inevitable, all humans must be conscious of the fact and live a loving, peaceful and God-fearing life.

Meanwhile, Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has described the passing of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland as a painful and personal loss.

He said the deceased was a trusted confidant and father figure to him.

The governor noted that the departure of the revered monarch had left a void that could not be filled easily, adding that he has lost a source of genuine wisdom, guidance and unwavering leadership.

Governor Bello, who had relocated to his country home in Okene on Sunday when he heard of the demise of the Ohinoyi, said the eminent monarch was renowned, not only for his role as a traditional leader, but also as an expert in conflict resolution.

According to Governor Bello, the reign of Dr Ado Ibrahim was marked by peace, security, economic prosperity and development in Ebiraland.

He extended his condolences to the immediate family of the late royal father, encouraging them to find solace in the impactful and fulfilling life he led during his time on earth.

On behalf of the family, Prince Nazi Ado Ibrahim, the eldest son of the late traditional ruler, said their father led a fulfilled and impactful life.

He also called upon everyone to offer their prayers for the peaceful repose of his father’s soul.

 

He commended the governor for his support and contributions during the funeral preparations.
