The palace of Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, the revered traditional ruler Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, has been shrouded in secrecy and heavy security presence, fueling rumors of the monarch’s demise.
The Owa Obokun’s palace, normally a bustling hub of Ijesaland culture and tradition, has been transformed into a scene of high alert, with DSS and NPF operatives sealing off entry points and shrouding the palace in an eerie silence.

In the absence of official confirmation from palace sources, the looming uncertainty has given rise to a somber mood among the Ijesaland people, who have long cherished their monarch for his wisdom, leadership, and dedication to preserving their heritage.
