The Ogudu community in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State has been thrown into mourning following the death of its traditional ruler, Oba Nojeemdeen Fashola.
The first-class monarch reportedly died peacefully in the early hours of Thursday at his residence in Ogudu, according to palace sources.
Although details surrounding his death were not disclosed, palace officials confirmed that the monarch “departed this world in peace.”
His passing has sparked grief across the community, with residents, traditional chiefs and sympathisers paying tribute to a ruler widely admired for his humility, wisdom and dedication to peace.
In line with Yoruba traditional rites, social and commercial activities within the community, including some market operations, were reduced in honour of the late monarch.
Oba Fashola ascended the throne about four years ago and was regarded as a symbol of unity and cultural preservation in Ogudu.
During his reign, he was known for his calm disposition, accessibility and commitment to the welfare and development of the community.
