Oba Ayinde Odetola, the Olu of Agodo was Monday, killed by Unknown gunmen in Ogun State’s Ewekoro Local Government Area, on Monday.
According to reports, the monarch he and his aides were assassinated and burnt to ashes as soon as they stepped their foot into the town around 11 am.
It was gathered that crisis began in Agodo after Odetola of Ake dynasty was elected as the traditional ruler of the town.
The new ruler was said to be rejected by the Owu people who insisted that anybody from Ake cannot be their king.
Although the root of Oba Ayinde Odetola is yet unknown, his sister, Mrs Adenike Akintade, said a brother to the late monarch was recently killed.
Akintade lamented;
“I have just been discharged from hospital early this morning, only to start mourning the brutal assassination of my brother.
“Kabiesi called me on Saturday, urging me to reduce my activities, saying stress could contribute to my illness.
“He lost his younger brother to the imbroglio some months ago; the young man was butchered by the so-called hoodlums. Today, Kabiesi is no more, what a world.”
