Anxiety on Wednesday mounted over the health of the 79-year old Towulade of Akinale in Ewekoro Local Government area of Ogun State, Oba Olufemi Ogunleye.
Oba Ogunleye, a seasoned journalist, retired as the General Manager, Public Relations of the defunct Nigeria Airways, was first installed as the Baale of Akinale in 2004 by former Governor Gbenga Daniel and was among those elevated to an Oba by the same administration in 2006.
Vanguard reliably gathered that the royal father is indisposed and currently receiving treatment at St. Thomas Hospital in London.
A source told our Correspondent that the royal father who just completed his PhD programme in law, is warming up for his graduation in few weeks.
The source said, "I know that Kabiyesi has been ill for some time now and what I heard was that he has been taken abroad for a better treatment at St. Thomas Hospital, London.
Efforts made to get reaction from the state government proved abortive, as calls put across to Mr Kayode Akinmade, the Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to Governor Abiodun was not connecting as at the time of filing this report.
