Palace sources disclosed that the first-class monarch passed away peacefully in the early hours of yesterday at his residence in Ogudu.
While the exact cause of death has not been officially announced, the palace stated that the monarch “departed this world peacefully.”
The sad development has cast a shadow over the ancient community in Kosofe Local Government Area, with residents, chiefs, and sympathisers paying glowing tributes to the late monarch, who was widely respected for his humility, wisdom, and dedication to community development.
