The Alaworoko of Iworoko Ekiti, Oba Michael Oluwafemi Aladejana, is dead.
Aladejana, who was in his 80’s died on Wednesday at an undisclosed hospital in Ado Ekiti capital city, the Nation reports.
This is coming barely six days after a fatal accident in Iworoko Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun local government area of Ekiti State, claimed fifteen lives.
The Nation reports that the traditional rites had already begun with the cutting of the trees and blockage of the dual carriage Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki highway as a way of paying last respect to the departed king.
The youths and other age groups also trooped to the streets killing house pets like goats and sheep sighted roaming about as tradition demands.
It was also reported that one of the prominent indigenes of the town, who craved anonymity, said the accident which claimed fifteen lives and injured four had worsened the health situation of the monarch.
