The remains of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, have been laid to rest at the palace, after traditional and Islamic rites.
The Chief Imam of Oyo, Sheikh Mos’ud Ajokidero and other notable Islamic clerics in Oyo and neighbouring towns performed the funeral prayers.
The body of the 83-year-old Oba Adeyemi was laid in an open coffin, instead of a mat.
A mammoth crowd gathered from the town and beyond to witness the burial of the monarch.
That’s the end.abi
