Toye Arulogun, a former Oyo Commissioner of Information, on Monday confirmed the death of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.
The information commissioner, in a terse response to the inquiry, said, “Confirmed. Official statement on the way.”
Arulogun served with the son of the deceased under the former Governor Abiola Ajimobi and has been a member of the team overseeing the media affairs and publicity for the late Olubadan.
Recall that Oba Olakulehin joined his ancestors a few days after his 90th birthday.
The monarch, who ascended the throne in July 2024, died in the early hours of Monday, July 7, 2025, after spending a year on the throne.
