The monarch, who recently celebrated his 84th birthday, was the 37th Odemo of Isara Remo. Adeleye praised his ability to preserve cultural heritage while embracing development, describing him as “a bridge between generations and a father figure to many.”
“As we mourn this irreplaceable loss, I pray that God grants comfort to the royal household and our entire community,” Adeleye added.
The tribute concluded with a solemn wish: “May the crown he wore continue to shine as a beacon of honour.”
