Three traditional rulers in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State lost their lives in a road crash on Friday.
The accident reportedly occurred at the Arinkinkin area of Ogbomoso.
The three Obas were Olodogbo of Odogbo, Alayetoro of Ayetoro and Onibowula of Bowula.
The deceased monarchs were on their way to the burial ceremony of the mother of another traditional ruler, Oloolo of Oolo, Oba Oyebunmi Ajayi when their vehicle rammed into an oncoming truck.
Olodogbo was confirmed dead on the spot but it’s unclear at what point the other two passed away.
A source at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital Ogbomoso confirmed the incident to Ogbomoso Insight Online informing that their bodies were deposited in the hospital’s morgue.
It was revealed that the fourth victim who sustained injuries is being attended to in the hospital “but he doesn’t look like an Oba,” the source said.
