According to the state government, Adeleke left Nigeria through the Lagos airport and is expected to visit the United Kingdom and other European destinations during the break.

The development comes as the state continues to address traditional and community matters that require government intervention.

The Koka kingship dispute has now been placed under official review, with the government expected to make further decisions after receiving the findings of the investigation.
