The Osi Balogun of Ibadanland Oba Olubunmi Isioye-Dada is dead.
A palace source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the development to Tribune on Friday.
The source said the monarch died after a brief illness at his residence in Ibadan. The source added that a delegation of Omo Oye had gone to his home following news of his death.
Oba Isioye-Dada held the title of Osi Balogun of Ibadanland until his death.
Olubunmi Isioye-Dada death is expected to lead to changes within the Balogun line of the Ibadan chieftaincy system.
This includes the possible movement of chiefs and high chiefs, including All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant Senator Sharafadeen Ali.
Under the traditional arrangement and subject to the approval of the Olubadan of Ibadanland Oba Rashidi Ladoja, Ali is expected to move from Ekaarun Balogun to Ekerin Balogun of Ibadanland.
Oba Akeem Adewoyin is also expected to move from Ekerin Balogun to Asipa Balogun of Ibadanland.
