The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji is dead. The king passed away in the early hours of Sunday, January 2, at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Oyo state at the age of 93.
The hierarchical arrangement in the Ibadan royalty system has a two line approach, the Balogun system and the Olubadan (Otun) system.
Olubadans are appointed on rotational basis to occupy the stool on the death of a monarch. The next to Olubadan and most senior on both lines are the Otun Olubadan and Balogun.
