The purported selection of Prince Lukman Adelodu Gbadegesin, as the new Alaafin of Oyo has been countered.
An insider, who did not want his name in print, was reacting to WesternLifeNewsNG story on the issue, insisting nobody has been chosen for now.

Editor’s note
Since we published the story of the purported selection of Prince Gbadegesin, many of our numerous readers and well wishers have been calling and sent SMS messages to disapprove same.
We have thus realised that the relevant/recognised traditional organ of Oyo kingdom is yet to approve any name to ascend the throne.
We therefore apologise for any inconveniences our story might have caused the public.
