A Yoruba traditional ruler, the Olofin of Ado-Odo, Oba Lateef Adeniran, has passed away.

The Ogun State first-class monarch joined his ancestors on Friday and he was buried same day.

Defying the usual rituals that do follow the death of a typical Yoruba traditional ruler, Oba Adeniran was buried according to his Islamic rites.

Islamic clerics had gathered at Ado-Odo to observe Salat al-janazah (a funeral prayer) at an open space, with the remains of the monarch laid before them.

The body was later interred into the grave as many gathered to bid the monarch farewell.
