Ife Traditional Council has formally announced the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade.

The chiefs, accompanied by Tokunbo Sijuwade, officially announced the demise of the monarch while meeting with 

Governor Rauf Aregbesola at the Government House in Osogbo.

One of the chiefs, Oba Solomon Omisakin, told the governor that the Ooni had joined his ancestors. 

The monarch, who was flown out in an air ambulance, died on July 28, in a London hospital.

Earlier in the day, the Isoros were seen in some parts of Ile Ife singing dirges, which is one of the precursors leading to the formal announcement of the death of the Ooni.
