[1] Òṣùpá t'Àdó là (which means "The moon has returned from Benin City and survived"), of the House of Asodeboyede, was born in Akure at some point in the late 18th century as Omoba Adésọ́rọ̀ Olokunwolu.
In around 1818, the Benin empire invaded Akure, executed the reigning monarch, Arakale (who may have been his father) and carted away a number of hostages.
His regular payment of tribute to the Benin palace started a tradition that lasted until the reign of his son Odundun I later in the century.
After the reign of his son Aladelusi, who became Oba Odundun, his direct lineage wouldn't produce another monarch for the duration of the succeeding century.
In the early 1990s, the Osupa family was recognized as one of the official ruling houses of the Akure Kingdom by the military administration of Ondo State.
He was a civil servant and politician who served as secretary to the Government of the Federation during the administration of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.
