In a historic ceremony, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, has formally presented the ceremonial beaded crown to High Chief Rashidi Ladoja, the newly appointed Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The prestigious event took place at the Olubadan Palace in Oke Aremo, Ibadan, marking a significant milestone in the traditional hierarchy of Ibadanland.
The ceremony was a culmination of events that began when Ladoja publicly announced his acceptance of the crown during a live radio programme in Ibadan. Since then, his residence has been flooded with visitors congratulating him on his new role.
Oyo Affairs shared videos from the event on (link unavailable), capturing the moment when Ladoja received the beaded crown. The caption read, “Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, High Chief Rashidi Ladoja has received beaded crown.”
With this presentation, Ladoja officially assumes his new position as Otun Olubadan, marking a significant step in the traditional hierarchy of Ibadanland. The ceremony was a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ibadanland and the importance of its traditional institutions.
