OBALURUN ORANFE MOURNS OBA LATEEF OLAYINKA ADO, THE ALADO OF ADO KINGDOM

 OBALURUN ORANFE MOURNS OBA LATEEF OLAYINKA ADO, THE ALADO OF ADO KINGDOM

I received with rude shock the passing to glory of His Royal Majesty, Oba Lateef Olayinka Ado, The Alado of Ado kingdom who until his passing was an iconic character and a great descendant of the ancient Oranfe Onile Inaa, the oldest deity of the entire Yoruba lore. 

Baba was a fantastic individual and noble king whose exemplary life and regal disposition would always remain a source of pride to the entire Oranfe kingdom as he was such a trailblazer and an asset who clearly defined his Era. 

In this moment of anguish our hearts are thus with his family and the good people of Ado kingdom and the entirety of Oranfe dynasty worldwide. 

On behalf of myself and the entire House of Oranfe, kindly accept our heartfelt condolences.


His Ancenstral Majesty, 

Oranfe Onile Ina

Oba Abiodun Orarotimi Mulatto, 

 _Osangangan 1_

Obaluru of Ife.

PRESS RELEASE [Ile-Ife, OSUN State] – [8/01/2025]   Clarification on Oke Ora Installation: Exclusive Authority Lies Solely with the Obaluru, Not Obajio or Council of Moore Our Attention has been drawn to a release claiming authority of the Oba Oke Ora installation. In light of this the House of Oranfe wishes to address recent misconceptions in response to claims made in the article titled _"Oke-Ora Obaship: Obajio of Moore Disassociates Yaya Obawole’s Alleged Self-Crowning, Reaffirms Support for Ooni_ ," we seek to clarify the rightful authority in these matters. It is important for the public to understand that the assertion that the Obajio or the Council of Moore (Ajo Moore) has the authority to decide or announce a candidate for the Obaship of Oke Ora is not only incorrect but also a violation of our traditional requisites and cultural requirements. We categorically state that all exclusive rights to install anyone as the Oba Oke Ora are vested and lie solely with the Obal...
