March 06, (THEWILL) – On Monday, March 28, THEWILL exclusively reported the death of the only son of the Oba of Ikateland, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi Ikusenla II. THEWILL also reported that the toddler, who was a few months shy of clocking two years, was his only son from his second wife, Kano-born Hadiza Elegushi, nee Tanko, whom he married in 2019. However, unknown to many, the late toddler who was the heir apparent to the Elegushi throne was a twin but his twin brother was lost at birth.
The surviving toddler unfortunately had had to deal with some health challenges right from birth and despite getting the best medical care that money can buy, the young lad gave up the ghost in the early hours of Monday.
Olori Hadiza has remained inconsolable ever since. Her husband had to jet out to London where the child allegedly breathed his last to console his wife. The Lagos State Head of Service, Hakeem Muri Okunola, allegedly jetted out with the monarch to lend him a shoulder to lean on. He was seen in company with Oba Elegushi, who seem to be taking the sad event in his stride.
