The deposed Deji of Akure kingdom, Oluwadare Adesina has been announced dead.
The traditional ruler died on Thursday at a private hospital in Abuja, after a brief illness.
The spokesperson of the Adesina Royal Family, the Osupa ruling house made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday.
Oluwadare Adesina was enthroned in 2005 as the 45th Deji of Akure Kingdom and was dethroned and banished from Akure in June 2010, by the former Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko following a crisis between him and his wife, Bolanle
The late monarch was alleged to have assaulted and poured hot ashes on his late wife which subsequently led to serious injuries and her death.
The late monarch had denied the allegation which led to his dethronement.
He, thereafter, challenged the decision in court but did not succeed.
