The deposed Deji of Akure Kingdom, Ondo State, Adesina Adepoju, is dead.
He died in an Abuja hospital on Thursday.
The death was confirmed in a statement by the spokesperson for the Adesina Royal Family of the Osupa Ruling House, Prince Dapo Adepoju.
He said the deposed Adepoju gave up the ghost on Thursday morning during a brief illness at a private hospital in Abuja.
Adepoju, who ruled for five years, was deposed by the immediate former Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, following a crisis between him (Adepoju) and his wife, Late Bolanle Adepoju that led to a free-for-all between the couple.
