The Onidogun of Idogun in Ose LGA, Ondo state, Moses Bakare, has passed away.
Idowu Ajanaku, the Ondo commissioner for information and orientation and an Idogun native, announced the monarch’s passing.
The commissioner stated that he was notified of the monarch’s passing on Thursday nite by community chiefs.
According to reports, Bakare passed away at a hospital following a 24-hour coma. He was taken to the hospital after collapsing on Wednesday.
Ajanaku expressed the state government’s condolences to the deceased monarch’s family and the Idogun community.
He also urged residents to maintain peace and order and refrain from violence during the mourning period.
However, reports indicate that some indigenes who opposed the late monarch blocked the road into the community with logs of wood on Thursday, preventing his body from being brought into the town.
Those conveying the corpse were reportedly forced to return it to a mortuary in Owo town.

Bakare’s death comes after a crisis erupted in the community in October 2025, when some residents assaulted him in an incident captured in a viral video.
The incident forced the monarch to leave the town, where he remained until his death.
The state government had set up a panel of inquiry to investigate the incident and submit a report, which is yet to be made public.
Nigerian gospel comedian Ayobami Ajewole, aka Woli Agba, has asserted that not everyone has access to miracles in relation to the death of Toluwanisings.
He said this while expressing worries that despite pleas for a miracle, many are losing faith as a result of gospel musician Toluwanisings’ passing.
In an Instagram post, Woli Agba responded to a question on whether prayer actually helps by encouraging people to give their bodies what they need.
On October 14, 2026, Toluwanisings collapsed and passed away. His family and close coworkers kept the incident, which occurred early on Wednesday, a secret from the public as they prayed for a miracle.
