Owolabi Akinloye Olakulehin has been crowned the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadan.

The coronation ceremony was held on Friday at the Labosinde compound, the family whose right it is to crown any Olubadan.

In March, Olalekan Balogun, the 42nd Olubadan, died at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital. He was 81 years old.

Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo state, presented the staff of office to the new Olubadan at an event attended by personalities from across the country.

Muhammad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto; Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife; Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun state; and Adebayo Adelabu, minister of power, were among the dignitaries that attended the coronation.
