BREAKING: Batoro Community In Remo Mourns As Oba Suleiman Odeyemi Passes On

The Batoro community in Sagamu, Ogun State, is in deep mourning following the passing of His Royal Highness, Oba Suleiman Odeyemi Adekunle (Dosunmu ii), the Lowa-Ibu Batoro. The revered monarch, whose leadership was instrumental in preserving the cultural heritage of the Batoro people, was declared dead, marking a significant moment of loss for one of the thirteen federated towns that make up Sagamu township.

Batoro, one of the over thirty-three traditional towns in the Remo region, holds a history that spans over a century, deeply rooted in cultural and traditional values. The town remains a vital part of the Sagamu township, known for its historical significance and communal harmony. Access to the community is primarily through two major routes, with Akarigbo Street serving as the most prominent entrance, leading directly from the Akarigbo Palace. From there, visitors pass through notable areas like Itun Nla, Itun Maro, and Itun Losi before reaching Batoro Street, which serves as the heart of the township.

As of now, details surrounding the circumstances of the monarch’s death remain undisclosed, leaving residents in somber anticipation of further announcements. The loss of Oba Suleiman Odeyemi Adekunle has cast a shadow over the community, as he was not only a traditional leader but also a custodian of the town’s legacy and an advocate for unity and progress.
