Chief Solomon Olugbemiga Ayoade, Chief Press Secretary to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has confirmed that the traditional ruler is in good health.

Speaking to journalists on Monday evening, Ayoade dismissed rumors of the monarch’s passing as false.

He also refuted claims that the Olubadan had been taken out of town for medical treatment.

“By the time I left the palace around 8 pm, there was nothing of such incident. Things were moving well. There was no crisis. And when I contacted the palace after I left, they told me Baba is hale and healthy.

“The Olubadan just finished eating amala. He is hale and healthy. It is just a rumour. There is nothing of such.

“Baba is still in Ibadan. He was not flown anywhere. He is doing very fine,” he said.
