“We were together with Kabiyesi and the royal retinue at the Chief of Army Staff conference, held in Ibadan last week.

“Her death is indeed a big loss to our father, the Olubadan and the people of Ibadanland.

‘‘May the Almighty grant Kabiyesi, children and loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.”
