‘Contrary to the speculative reportage about the health condition of Oba Olusanya Adegboyega Dosunmu, Kabiyesi had a minor surgery at the UCH Ibadan and has since been discharged and recuperating in Abeokuta’, Obasanjo emphasied.
The statement further explained that, Olowu’s health remains stable and gives no sign for apprehension, and thanked those who ceaselessly called to enquire about the monarch following the speculative report and advised newsmen to exercise restraint and abide by their investigative norms before “breaking news”.
