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.

Seven SARS operatives were caught on video in the process of extorting money from an innocent citizen in Asaba, Delta state.
Maxwell, a building contractor was stopped by the officers as he was exiting a fuel station with a keg of petrol. He was searched and when they found nothing on him, the officers searched his phone and concluded he was a "Yahoo" boy.
The SARS officers allegedly drove Maxwell to different ATMs around town so he could withdraw money and give to them to secure his release. It was while he was waiting in line at an ATM to withdraw money that he was spotted by Harrison Gwamnishu, the Director General of Behind Bars Intervention.
Harrison Gwamnishu and the BBI team intervened and helped secure the release of Maxwell.
