Recall that the monarch, a former Olowo of Owo community in Yewa South Local Government Area, was murdered on July 26 on his‎ way to his palace after a council meeting.

His corpse was also set ablaze afterward. This led to the Ogun State Council of Traditional Rulers to say that it would employ spiritual means to apprehend the killers.
