Oba Odulana
became Olubadan in 2007. He was the 17th Olubadan since the title was elevated
from Baale Ibadan to the Olubadan in 1930.
He would have
turned 102 in April having celebrated his 100th birthday in April 2014.
Some
reports say the Personal Assistant to the late royal father, Chief
Isiaka Akinpelu denied the death saying the monarch is alive and well.
Such denials are
not unusual when monarchs pass on.
