"I have the approval of the Alake and Paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo to announce that the Olu of Kobape, Oba Olufemi Taylor has joined his ancestors"
He stated further that arrangements are ongoing for the continued administration of Kobape kingdom by the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo.
