A former Governor of Oyo State and the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja on Monday lost one of his wives, Mrs Tinuade Ladoja.
She passed away at the age of 71 on Monday morning after a brief illness.
The media aide to former Governor Ladoja, Adeola Oloko, confirmed her demise in a telephone interview with Online newspaper in Ibadan, the state capital.
