The Aseyin of Iseyin, a town in Oyo State, is said to have joined his forefathers according to reports.
At the University College Hospital in Ibadan, where the monarch had been hospitalized for some time, he was said to have died early Sunday morning.
According to reports in the town, his body will be taken from the hospital to the town tomorrow morning.
It was confirmed that the king had passed away by an Iseyin native who was a former member of the state house of assembly.
A former lawmaker who requested anonymity stated, “I called certain people when I heard the rumour in the morning.
Then this afternoon, they confirmed it to me,” I said.
There is no more Aseyin. On the morning of the following day, his body would be removed from the morgue.
