Former Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala is dead.
He was aged 71.
Though the details of his death were still sketchy, a source said the former governor died in his sleep in the early hours of Wednesday at his Ogbomoso’s residence.
His remains had been moved to the mortuary.
A family source told The Star that the former governor returned from Abuja to Ogbomoso on Tuesday.
“He was full of life until we discovered he was gone this morning,” a source told The Star.
He died exactly one month after his monarch, Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Jimoh Oyewumi, joined his ancestors.
Akala was the apex leader of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State after the demise of former governor Abiola Ajimobi in 2020.
