Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy.

Wickedness! Surgeon Found Guilty Of Wounding Breast Cancer Patients With 'Completely Unnecessary' Operations
Ian Paterson lied to his alleged victims, 'exaggerating or quite simply inventing the risk of cancer' and claimed payments for more expensive procedures, a jury was told.
The seven-week trial heard the 59-year-old's alleged motives were 'obscure', but may have included a desire to 'earn extra money'.
One alleged victim looked like 'she had been involved in a car crash' after undergoing an 'entirely unnecessary' mastectomy despite only having a series of benign growths.
Other alleged victims included a mother who is said to have agreed to two 'unnecessary operations' leaving her unable to breastfeed and a woman who had a 'significant deformity in her visible cleavage area' after a pair of needless operations on her left breast.
Scottish-born Paterson, of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, had denied 20 counts of wounding with intent against nine women and one man relating to procedures he carried out between 1997 and 2011.
He was today convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three counts of unlawful wounding by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court after being accused of carrying out a series of unnecessary operations.
