The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has expressed sadness over the death of Olori Kafayat, one of the wives of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III.
The Speaker said Olori Kafayat’s passing was a painful one coming only a few months after the death of the Alaafin.
