Ogun State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat confirmed that the remains of the late Awujale would be committed to mother earth by 4 pm on Monday, according to Islamic rites.

Hamzat disclosed that the funeral rite was in tandem with the Ogun State Chieftaincy Law 2021 as amended.

A statement issued on Monday by the Chairman of Ijebu Ode local government, Hon. Dare Alebiosu said the closure of commercial activities was in line with the cultural traditions of the town, which aimed at allowing all sons and daughters of Ijebuland “to mourn this monumental loss” of the monarch, who is regarded as the deity of their land.

Meanwhile, a visit by our correspondent to the Awujale’s palace, located Ita-Ale area of Ijebu-Ode metropolis, revealed that the Palace has been closed, while combined security operatives, including personnel of the Nigerian Army were on stand-by to maintain law and order.

The late Oba Adetona will be interred at his private residence located at the Ogbagba Court in Igbeba axis of Ijebu-Ode town.

The deputy governor was however, received by the family of late Oba Adetona shortly after signing the condolence register.
