Gbadebo was born on September 14, 1943, into the Laarun Ruling House. He is a grandson of the sixth Alake of Egbaland, Oba Gbadebo, who ruled from 1898 to 1920 and is a nephew of Oba Gbadebo II.
Gbadebo’s election as Alake and assumption of office on August 2, 2005, ended a six-month period of uncertainty about who would succeed the former Alake, Oba Oyebade Lipede, who died on 3 February 2005.
