Epe Division has been thrown into deep mourning following the passing of His Majesty, the Kabiesi Onise of Ise-Land, Oba Ganiyu Adebowale Adegbesan, who departed this life tonight at the age of 90.

The revered monarch of Ise-Land in Epe Division was widely celebrated as a symbol of peace, unity, and cultural pride. Throughout his remarkable reign, Oba Adegbesan stood as a pillar of wisdom, stability, and selfless service, dedicating his life to the growth, harmony, and overall welfare of his people.

Under his leadership, Ise-Land witnessed strengthened traditional institutions, enhanced communal relationships, and sustained developmental progress. Kabiesi’s reign was marked by inclusiveness, dignity, and a deep commitment to preserving the rich cultural heritage of the land while embracing meaningful development.

His Majesty’s transition represents a profound loss not only to Ise-Land but also to the entire Lekki Local Council Development Area family and the broader traditional institution across Lagos State.

In this moment of collective grief, heartfelt condolences are extended to the royal family, the Council of Chiefs, the good people of Ise-Land, and all sons and daughters of Epe Division at home and in the diaspora. We stand in solidarity with the community during this difficult time and share in their sorrow.

We pray that Almighty God grants His Majesty eternal rest and gives strength, comfort, and fortitude to all who mourn him. May his enduring legacy of peace, unity, and service continue to inspire generations yet unborn.

Further details regarding funeral rites and official arrangements will be communicated as they are finalized.
