For Oba Saheed Elegushi, Ikusenla II, the Oba of Ikateland, this is indeed a piece of sad news.
The king, who was an aide of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, before being crowned king over 10 year ago, has lost his only son.
The deceased, who recently clocked a year and seven months old, is Elegushi’s first and only son from his second wife, Queen Hadiza Elegushi, nee Tanko.
The toddler who was born on August 21, 2020, in London, was said to have been challenged in his health and gave up the ghost this morning, February 28, 2022.
The marriage between the monarch and Hadiza took place in May 2019.
