The
third-in-command to the Ooni of Ife, Lowa Adimula, Oba Joseph Ijaodola, is
dead. A source close to the palace said Ijaodola died on Friday
evening at
about 100 years of age.
The source
said the palace had yet to officially announce the demise of the traditional
chief because some rites had to be performed before the news of his death would
be made public.
Ijaodola was
said to have been installed as the Lowa Adimula during the reign of Oba Adesoji
Aderemi and he witnessed the installation and death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade.
100 years is a
life well spent. RIP!
