Late Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Alaafin of Oyo, had told his wives that he should be buried immediately he joins his ancestors.
A source close to the palace said the departed monarch has revealed.
Three of his wives were with him when he was said to have made the statement.
This is just as the Oyomesi, led by the Basorun of Oyo, High Chief Yusuf Akinade have just concluded plans to bury the departed monarch by 4:00 pm.
