Late Oloro of Oro Kingdom, Oba AbdulRafiu Olaniyi
The Oloro of Oro Kingdom in Kwara State, Oba AbdulRafiu Olaniyi Ajiboye Oyelaran is dead.
He died in his mid-70s after a protracted illness that lasted over a year.
Oloro was declared dead last year only to be announced alive later.
Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Rafiu Ajakaye, confirmed that the monarch joined his ancestors early hours Saturday.
Abdulrazaq described the late monarch as “a peacemaker, a father figure to all, and a man who was passionate about the development of his kingdom.”
The governor said the Oloro will be missed for his forthrightness, his commitment to peace and unity, and his successes.
He prayed Almighty Allah to grant forgiveness and Al-jannah Firdaus to Oba AbdulRafiu, and to give the people of Oro Kingdom and his family the strength to carry on his fine legacies. (The Guardian)
