It is with heavy hearts that we report the solemn news of the passing of His Royal Majesty Alhaji (Dr) Ado Ibrahim, the paramount ruler of Ebiraland and the vice chairman of Kogi State Traditional Council. HRM Alhaji Ado Ibrahim, aged 94, breathed his last on a Sunday morning after a brief illness.
A respected leader, HRM Alhaji Ado Ibrahim had recently celebrated his 94th birthday, marking the milestone with his community. However, according to trustworthy sources, he passed away in a private hospital located in Abuja.
The somber occurrence transpires merely a week after the demise of another esteemed traditional ruler in Kogi State, HRM Julius Olufunsho Joledo, the Elulu of Mopaland, who passed away at the age of 83.
As we await the official announcements from the Ohinoyi Palace and the Kogi State government, it is anticipated that the funeral of this first-class monarch will take place later on this Sunday in Okene, observing the Islamic funeral traditions. This loss reverberates deeply within Ebiraland, as we mourn the departure of a venerable leader and cherished community figure.
