Adeboye was accompanied by some traditional chiefs from his father’s Itoko clan in the Abeokuta South Local Government of the state to inform the Alake-in-council of the former ING leader’s demise. He said, “My father passed away early yesterday ; we are now going to go for consultation and we will carry his royal highness along; once the picture is clear, we shall make further announcements.

“I will miss him for all those things I said; he was my mentor, someone I look up to everyday; he just led by example; everything I do, I used to consult him but he is not there anymore.”
