The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has been thrown into mourning following the death of his elder brother, Prince Adegboyega Ogunwusi.
Prince Adegboyega reportedly died in the United Kingdom after a brief illness. Although the palace has yet to issue a detailed official statement on the circumstances surrounding his death, news of the development has drawn condolences from sympathisers, traditional institutions, and well-wishers.
The deceased was said to be a respected member of the Ogunwusi royal family and maintained a relatively private life away from the public spotlight despite his close relationship with the revered monarch.
His passing marks another moment of grief for the royal family, with many offering prayers for strength and comfort to the Ooni and the entire Ogunwusi family during this difficult period.
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the family and the palace in due course.
