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. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria. In a widely circulated voice recording, the deceased recounted how what was meant to be a simple homage turned violent.

Fresh produce manager Neville Fox, 35, and Caitlyn Kirby, 19, were filmed through the window of a staff room as they engaged in a sex act. The incident was filmed by a group of men outside and they posted it on social media. The raunchy video went viral and resulted in both Fox and Kirby being escorted from the office premises in Norwich.
Fox, 35, has a long-term partner aged 54 at the same branch, but the teenager claims the 35-year-old told her he had split from 54-year-old manager partner. This was later found to be untrue.
Speaking to The Sun, Mr Fox, who has now left the company, said: “I’m not going to say anything. I’m not going to comment.
“Tesco’s will comment as they see fit and that’s where we stand on it. It’s not true I’ve been sacked. I’m not going to say anything else.”
Miss Kirby, however, spoke out about the incident – saying her family have dubbed her the “Kim Kardashian of Norwich”. She said she was “so embarrassed” and wanted to flee to Brazil to escape the video, which has since gone viral.
She said: “It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, a moment of total madness. He’s quite a bit older than me so maybe he should have known better but so should I. The person I feel really awful for is Neville’s partner. She must be mortified about it all.”
Tesco said: “We are taking this issue very seriously and launched an immediate investigation.”
