Following the announcement of his demise, Christianity rites were conducted on the body of the late Monarch, signaling the beginning of his final journey home.

After the prayers, his body was taken back to the palace where the final burial was held.

However, there are speculations that HRH Kabiyesi Amisu Sola Tijani didn’t die naturally, however the police are still investigating his death. Perhaps in the coming days, we will get a confirmation of what led to the Monarch’s demise.
