The Oba-elect of Odo Nla Kingdom-Ikorodu, Lagos, Prince Olusoga Elias Adeyemi Olowolekomoh has lost his mother, Alhaja Falilat Titilayo Ebun Alake Olowolekomoh.

She passed away at the age of 75, on February 13, 2023, and was buried the next day, February 14, according to Islamic rites at number 6, Oremolu Street, Ikorodu, Lagos.

The Fidua prayers will be held for her on February 21 at the same venue between 12 noon and 2 pm.

Paying tribute to his late mom, Prince Olowolekomoh, businessman and philanthropist said: “Whilst acknowledging your condolences, prayers and support, I use this opportunity to express my profound appreciation for the affections and sympathies extended to my family during this time.

“May we all be survived by our children and enjoy good health and longevity to old age by the special grace of God Almighty, the giver of life. My best regards also to those who are able to spare their precious time to attend the burial event impromptu.

“Will appreciate your presence at the 8th day Fidau prayer on  Tuesday, February 21, 2023. The time is 12 noon. Thank you all and accept my compliments. Ese adupe pupo gbogbo Ojumolumo. majuse fun gbogbo wa o lagbara Olorun Oba.”

It would be recalled that Olowolekomoh emerged as the Oba elect of the Odo-Nla kingdom last December among other five contestants to the ancient throne from the Ogbodo and Raselu ruling houses respectively contested for the royal crown.

It was a painstaking and thorough exercise that produced Olowolekomoh as revealed by Asiwaju Otunba David Ekiyoyo, the Olootu Oba Meta in a signed statement.

“Sequel to the formal announcement from the office of The Olotu Omo’ba Meta Royal family, Odo-Nla via a press conference at the community Town Hall on Thursday, 4th January 2022  it has become imperative for the office once again to issue another official statement in the public’s interest to dispel the ubiquitous rumours, lies and petty propaganda emanating from the quarters of disgruntled individuals and interlopers and none Omo’ba Meta Royal family members, coming up with so many different manipulated unrealistic stories that shall all be dealt with accordingly in the tribunal soonest.

“That, Prince Olusoga Elias Adeyemi Olowolekomoh is the most suitable and perfect Oba-Elect according to the best Odu IFA imbued on him, it is emphatic revelations and interpretations of the diviners as also acknowledged by the select committee emissaries on the mission. It is also without doubt that he possesses sterling quality leadership skills sets of sound moral character and mind complimented by high-level educational background in conjunction with his verified amiable charitable disposition and relations with different segments of the Odo-Nla Community at large.”
