Asiwaju of Igbajo, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, on Monday announced the passage of Oba Olufemi Fashade, whose death reportedly occurred last Thursday.
The PUNCH had since Friday reported the passage of the 81-year-old monarch after he failed to recover from an undisclosed illness.
Oba Fashade, a retired Major of the Nigerian Army, who was appointed in 1990 by the then Oyo State Government, emerged the first secretary of Osun State Council of Obas, upon the creation of Osun State in 1991.
Officially announcing the passage of the royal father at a press conference in Osogbo, Chief Awomolo, who was flanked by members of Owa in Council, said rites of passage had already commenced for the departed monarch.
