The Adimu Orisa Play was created in 2001 as a tribute to Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, also known as Ekun Oko Lara and Ekun Omo Lara, by the people of Lagos. In addition to being a prominent member of Wesley Cathedral Church, Holloway was the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity’s Olori Oluwo.
He was the son of Oba Sir Ladapo Ademola II, the Alake of the Egba Kingdom, and succeeded Justice Adetokunbo Ademola, a Nigerian prince, lawyer, and judge who served as the first indigenous chief justice of the Nigerian Supreme Court (1958–1972). He was also a cofounder of the Nigerian Law School. He was in that role prior to his death.
According to the English Constitution, Holloway is thought to be the second individual to have simultaneously served as the District Grand Master and the Olori Oluwo. Sir Adeyemo Alakija came first. Holloway participated actively in the Freemasons as well. He rose to become their District Grand Master of Nigeria (as defined by the English Constitution), Bobagunwa of Lagos, and Eyo Adimu’s Chairman.
Holloway passed away in London in 1996.
