THE Awujale of Ijebuland, in Ogun State, Oba Sikiru kayode Adetona has refuted his death rumours!
The 83-year old monarch,
who is spending his 57th year on the throne, was reported to have
passed on yesterday by some bloggers and websites. But it was all fake
news.
The respected monarch debunked the rumours about his death in a telephone conversation with the News Agency of Nigeria.
The
Awujale has for the past week been a guest of Oriental Hotel on
Victoria Island, in Lagos, where he has been staying after a routine
medical checkup in a Lagos hospital, two weeks ago.
The Awujale
expressed surprise that some bloggers could be spreading rumours about
his death without confirming from the palace in Ijebu-Ode or from his
chiefs.
“Why are people spreading rumours about my death, when I am right here at Oriental?” asked the baffled King.
