Although COVID-19 dealt a big blow to social life in Nigeria and beyond, the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi played host to quite a number of events, some of which were held in low-key fashion, in compliance with preventive measures recommended by the government against the spread of the pandemic.
One of the functions witnessed in the palace was the recent visit of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, on December 4, 2020, which caught many people off guard due to the low publicity given to it.
The palace, especially the administration of which is led by Mrs Bose Oyatokun and photography headed by Alhaji Akewusola Bolaji did not take anything for granted during preparation; every detail got the best attention according to the instructions of Oba Adeyemi whose table was receiving regular reports of updates in his tasteful office.
