Oba Olakulehin, who was born on July 5, 1935, ascended the throne as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland in July 2024 following the passing of his predecessor, Oba (Dr.) Moshood Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, who died in March 2024 at the age of 81.
He was officially presented with the staff of office by the Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, on July 12, 2024, having risen through the ranks of the chieftaincy system from the position of Balogun Olubadan.
His reign, though brief, was marked by efforts to promote peace and unity within Ibadanland. The news of his demise has thrown the city and the traditional council into mourning.
Details of his burial and official announcements from the Oyo State Government and the Olubadan-in-Council are expected to be released soon.
