Popular Ibadan Politician, Adegoke Adelabu, is often mentioned in Yorùbá and Nigerian history as the author of the expression: "penkelemesi", a Yorubanisation of the phrase, "peculiar mess" which Adelabu, known for his deep knowledge of English, had used on an occasion to describe the opposition in the Western Region House of Assembly.
On 25 March 1958, Adelabu died in a car accident, It was on a straight stretch of road between Ode-Remo and Iperu.
He was returning from Lagos along with his Lebanese businessman, Albert Younan, when their car hit an oncoming vehicle. His death sparked riots across Ìbàdàn as he was rumored to have been killed by the opposition party.
