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.

Meghan’s estranged father Thomas revealed last month that wedding guests were given a bag of marijuana. He, however didn't state if Meghan was aware or involved in this. Now, the emails claim to show for the first time that Meghan was involved too.
Sources told the Sun that Meghan's groom, Trevor Engelson bought the marijuana through a member of staff at their hotel. They also claimed that Meghan helped roll the joints and insert the filter tip.
At the time of the wedding in 2011, any possession of cannabis was illegal in Jamaica. It wasn't until 2015 that the laws were relaxed to make possession of small amounts a ‘petty offence’ and unlikely to lead to a criminal conviction.
