Another first-class traditional ruler, the Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Abdul-Ganiyu Adekunle Salawudeen has died in Oyo State, Nigeria.
A palace source said that Oba Salawudeen joined his ancestors on Sunday after a protracted illness.
The source added that his demise would be made official after the necessary traditional protocol.
He stated that the state government has been informed of the development.
The death of Aseyin comes barely a few months after the death of Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III.
Recall that Oyo State has lost four first-class traditional rulers this year, 2022.
The traditional rulers are: the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Late Oba Saliu Adetunji, the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Jimoh Oyewumi and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III.
