The Awujale of Ijebuland, in Ogun State, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona has dispelled rumours of his death, insisting that he was neither sick nor hospitalised.
The respected monarch debunked the rumours about his death in a telephone conversation with the News Agency of Nigeria.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the Awujale has for the past week been a guest of Oriental Hotel on Victoria Island, in Lagos, where he has been staying after a routine medical checkup in a Lagos hospital, two weeks ago.
The Awujale 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.
