The Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, has insisted he is alive, hale and hearty, contrary to widespread rumours about his demise.
Adetona, 83, who has spent 57 years on the throne, was rumoured to have passed on yesterday.
The respected monarch has for the past weeks, been a guest of Oriental Hotel on Victoria Island in Lagos, where he is staying after a routine medical checkup in a Lagos hospital two weeks ago.
He expressed surprise that some bloggers could be spreading rumours about his death, without confirming from the palace in Ijebu-Ode or from his chiefs.
“Why are people spreading rumours about my death, when I am right here at Oriental?” asked the baffled King.
