Olori Kafayat, Alaafin’s wife dies weeks after Monarch’s death

Some weeks after the death of the Alaafin of Oyo in Oyo State, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, one of his wives, Olori Kafayat, has  also died.

It was gathered that Olori Kafayat, who was the mother of Prince Adebayo Adeyemi, popularly known as D’Guv, died on Friday night.

Details of her death were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, but the Director of Media and Publicity at the Alaafin Palace, Mr Bode Durojaye, confirmed it to PUNCH on Saturday morning.

He said, “She died in the United States of America. I will give you the details later.”

Oba Adeyemi had died on Friday April 22 at the Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, after a brief illness at the age of 83.

Oyo is yet to get another Alaafin after the demise of Oba Adeyemi.
