Oba Adesida’s body was placed on the throne and his subjects bade him farewell.
The palace was filled to capacity, as the chiefs led others in prostrating before the king like they did before his passage.
The Lisa (Prime Minister) of Akure, Chief James Olusoga, said shops and markets around the palace will be closed for seven days, in line with the tradition.
He said only shops that render essential services would be allowed to open.
There was a lull in Akure. The Central Market, otherwise known as the Erekesan Market, and others in the town were shut in honour of the monarch.
Stores on Oba Adesida, Oyemekun, Arakale, NEPA and hospital roads were also shut.
As early as 7am, hoodlums moved from one place to the other, forcing shop owners to close down.
They vandalised goods in stores where the owners failed to comply with their order, but were cautioned by security agents.
The security operatives prevented a clash between the hoodlums and youths in Isolo.
