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. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death.

A man who had engaged himself in performing money rituals, has made a startling confession indicting a pastor who coordinated the process.Emeka Chukwuemeka, a laundry firm operator, has shockingly revealed how a pastor gave him human blood to drink in order to become a millionaire. Chukwuemeka was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), after neighbours got tired of the putrefying stench of blood and alerted the police.
According to New Telegraph, the suspect, who operates a laundry shop at Oregun area of the metropolis, was arrested on Sunday, after the stench of the blood from his shop enveloped his community.
He said: “I was in my shop, working one fateful day when my friend, Pastor Johnson, came to me. He said that he noticed I had been working as a drycleaner for long, but had made little or no money.
"That was how the conversation started. The pastor told me that there were young boys, not up to my age, who made it through the work they did, but also with the support of rituals. He said that I should face reality.
“The pastor promised to assist me to overcome all my challenges.
"He asked me to get N5,000 ready. I rallied round and got the money for him.
“I didn’t know that what he was going to give me was human blood. He instructed me to drink the blood for three days, after which I would stop, and then wait for the result. I took it twice, I couldn’t continue.
"I couldn’t bear the stench of the blood. But nothing changed in my business after I drank the blood twice. I was planning to dispose the blood when some neighbours started complaining of the stench.
"This led to my arrest. Immediately I was arrested, the pastor’s phone line stopped going through.”
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal, said the suspect would be charged to court, while the fleeing pastor would be arrested.
