Ibadan’s traditional and social circles have been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of Alhaja Basirat Ajibola, senior Olori of the Balogun of Ibadanland, His Royal Majesty Oba Tajudeen Abimbola Ajibola, on Tuesday night.
Alhaja Basirat’s death has reportedly come as a rude shock to members of the traditional institution, family, friends and associates, with details surrounding her sudden passing still emerging.
Her death is particularly significant within Ibadan’s traditional establishment, given her status as the Aare Onibon Iyalode of Ibadanland and her marriage to Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, a prominent member of the Olubadan-in-Council and head of the Balogun line of Ibadanland.
Alhaja Basirat’s passing will therefore be felt not only within the Ajibola family but across the network of traditional rulers, chiefs, women leaders, friends and associates who have encountered the family through the years.
Ibadan Awaits Further Details
As news of her death spreads, condolences are expected to pour in for Oba Tajudeen Ajibola and the entire Ajibola family.
Further details concerning the circumstances of Alhaja Basirat Ajibola’s death, funeral arrangements and burial rites were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
For now, Ibadan mourns a woman whose life was closely woven into one of the city’s most respected traditional households.
May Allah grant Alhaja Basirat Ajibola Aljanah Firdaus and give Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, her children, family and loved ones the strength to bear the irreparable loss.
