The Towulade of Akinale, Oba Olufemi Ogunleye, has passed away at the age of 79, marking the conclusion of his distinguished career in journalism and his revered tenure as a traditional ruler in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Oba Ogunleye, renowned in Nigerian journalism, had a significant association with the old Daily Times of Nigeria before taking on the role of General Manager of Public Relations at the defunct Nigeria Airways.

His journey into royalty began in 2004 when he was appointed as the Baale of Akinale by former Governor Gbenga Daniel. His leadership and influence were further recognized in 2006 when he was elevated to the status of Oba, a testament to his impact and stature within the community.

Sources close to the late monarch disclosed to Vanguard that Oba Ogunleye had been battling health issues for some time. He was receiving treatment at St. Thomas Hospital in London, where he passed away on Wednesday afternoon. His death has left the community and his followers mourning the loss of a prominent leader and a respected elder.

Adding to his list of achievements, Oba Ogunleye had recently completed a PhD program in law and was preparing for his upcoming graduation.

According to the source, “The Towulade of Akinale, Oba Olufemi Adewunmi Ogunleye, passed away at the age of 79 in a London hospital after a brief illness.

“May the soul of the Kabiyesi rest in peace and find favor in the bosom of his Creator. Amin.”
