The Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran, a prominent Yoruba monarch, has joined his ancestors, after reigning for 42 years.
The first-class monarch, who once served as Chairman of Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers, was aged 87.
He was admitted at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun State, till Wednesday, before he passed on.
Sources within the palace said the Oba passed away on Wednesday after a brief illness.
Meanwhile, popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele had warned some traditional rulers earlier to pray concerning their health and life as he foresees their demise.
As the man of God is known to be very precise in his warnings, Primate Ayodele mentioned names of some rulers including the Owa Obokun of Ijesha, Oba Gabriel Aromolaran.
These were his words:
These following kings should be prayerful; Oba Arabambi should pray not to fall sick and longevity of life, Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland needs prayers for Godās divine protection and good health, Emir of Daura, Adamawa, Katsina, Oba Sikiru Adetona needs prayers for his lifeā¦ā¦.āā
Just as the prophet said, the Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland, though was sick, but his health deteriorated earlier in the week and this led to his demise.
This is not to celebrate Primate Ayodele for prophesying the death of the king but to recognize the call of Primate Ayodele as a true prophet who foretells virtually everything before they happen. His prophetic prowess knows no bounds as it transcends into various sectors including sports, education, politics, aviation, corporate organizations, government establishments, to mention but a few.
