JUST IN: OLUBADAN, OBA MOHOOD LEKAN BALOGUN DIES AT 81

Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide


The death has been announced of the Paramount Ruler of Ibadanland, the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba (Sen) Dr. Mohood Olalekan Ishola Balogun, ALLI OKUNMADE II. The late Monarch passed away aged 81 at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan on Thursday, 14th of March 2024, after celebrating his 2nd Coronation Anniversary on Monday 11th of March, 2024.


The news of the King's passing was announced by His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde through his Chief Press Secretary, Sulaimon Olanrewaju. In the release, he mentioned that Oba Balogun died Thursday evening at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. The governor has also described the late monarch as a towering figure akin to an Iroko tree.

He wrote, “With total submission to the will of God, I announce the passing unto glory of our father, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.

“A mighty Iroko has fallen; Oba Balogun has joined the ancestors.

“In Kabiyesi, Ibadanland had a cosmopolitan and well-experienced Olubadan, who made indelible marks on the sands of history and achieved greatly within a short while.

“On behalf of the government and good people of the state, I condole with the immediate family of the Oba Balogun, the Olubadan-in-Council, the state Traditional Council and the people of Ibadanland. It is my prayer that God grants repose to the soul of our late monarch.”

“The passing of Oba Dr. Balogun marks the end of an era for Ibadanland, leaving behind a profound void in its rich history and heritage,” he added.

The late Olubadan was born on October 18, 1942.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.
