Alagba, 344years oldest tortoise in Africa dies in Ogbomosho,Oyo state.

JUST IN: Alàgbà, THE OLDEST TORTOISE IN AFRICA, DIES AT 344 IN OGBOMOSO, OYO STATE.

Alagba, a 344-year-old tortoise in the palace of the Soun of Ogbomoso, is dead.
The scared tortoise which was the oldest in Africa, was sick for a few days before her demise on Thursday.

The tortoise, which attracted people from all walks of life from Nigeria and abroad, will be greatly missed not only by the palace household but everyone who came in contact with Alagba during her lifetime.
According to Ajamu: “Alagba had lived in the palace for centuries. The tortoise played host to many monarchs in Ogbomoso in the past. Alagba became popular because Oba Oladunni Oyewumi, Soun of ogbomosoland, used his personal resources to cater for her well being.

“The tortoise had two staff members of the palace, dedicated to her. They provide food, health support and other logistics, so as to make sure she gets the best treatment.

Often times, Kabiyesi shared great moments with Alagba. On a daily basis, Alagba, had tourists visiting her from different part of the world. The palace household, Ogbomoso community and stakeholders in the tourism sector are mourning Alagba’s passing. “
The palace secretary explained that plans were underway to preserve Alagba’s body for historical records.
