The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Samuel Odulana, Odugade 1, died on Tuesday evening at the age of 101. In a revelation by family sources, the first class monarch passed on at his Monatan residence in Ibadan, Oyo State. Late Oba Odugade, whose remains have since been deposited at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan was said to have been hale and hearty at the early hours of the day. He later passed on peacefully, surrounded by his wife and some of his children. The monarch assumed the throne in 2007 after the death of Oba Yunusa Ogundipe, Arapasowu 1.
