The Badagry Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (BACCIMA) received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of His Royal Majesty, De Wheno Aholu Menu Toyi, the Akran of Badagry on Monday, January 12, 2026, who until his demise was the Grand Patron of BACCIMA.
On behalf of the Executive Council, members, and the entire BACCIMA family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family, the people of Badagry Kingdom, and all those whose lives were touched by the remarkable reign of this revered monarch.
De Wheno Aholu Menu Toyi was more than a traditional ruler; he was a father, a custodian of culture, and a strong advocate for peace, development, and economic progress in Badagry. His unwavering support for BACCIMA and the private sector reflected his deep belief in commerce, enterprise, and inclusive development as key drivers of community advancement.
As Grand Patron of BACCIMA, His Royal Majesty consistently offered wise counsel, moral support, and royal blessings that strengthened the Chamber’s vision and activities. His legacy of unity, dignity, and commitment to the growth of Badagry will remain indelible in our hearts and institutional memory.
We pray that Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest and gives the Royal Family, the traditional council, and the entire Badagry community the fortitude to bear this great loss.
May his legacy continue to inspire us all.

Alhaji Yahaya Oladiran Idris
