Oba Odulana Odugade became the 39th Olubadan of Ibadan land in 2004 and he was the 17th Olubadan since the title was changed from Baale Ibadan to the Olubadan in 1930. The first traditional ruler to bear the new title was Oba Okunola Abass who reigned from 1930-1946.
According to Punch, the monarch’s corpse is said to be currently at the morgue in an undisclosed hospital in Ibadan. It was also gathered that palace guards immediately summoned a son of the deceased, Prof. Femi Lana, who also informed some Ibadan high chiefs about his father’s demise.
The Olubadan-in-Council states the high chiefs must first pay a condolence visit to the family before an official announcement is made of the monarch’s death. Next in line to the throne is the Balogun of Ibadan land, High Chief Saliu A.O. Adetunji. Adetunji was one of the nine Ibadan high chiefs promoted about three weeks ago by the late monarch.
