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.

Deji Adenuga, the suspected who set ablaze 9 members of his girlfriend’s family in Igbodigo, Ondo State, has stated that he has no regrets for doing what he did.According to the arrested 45- year-old suspect, he burnt the house where the parents of his wife lived and killed eight persons.
Deji Adenuga was one of the ex -convicts that escaped after a jail break from Olokuta Prison in 2013. During interrogation, he confessed to killing his first wife after she allegedly went away with N450, 000 belonging to him.
Speaking on why he burnt his girlfriend’s family to death, he revealed that she aborted his 4-month pregnancy and took away some of his personal belongings.
His words:
“I have no regret killing them because when they did their own nobody punished them. I took the decision to set their house ablaze when it became clear that my wife had moved to her parent’s house with some of my belongings.
We had little altercations at home and she moved out of the house. I was the one paying their house rent and I was also responsible for their day-to -day living. I am a palm wine tapper and I always live up to expectation both at home and at my in-law’s house.
My wife’s parent always asked for money from me and food stuffs and I always oblige”.
Adenuga said he waited for months thinking that the family will rescind their decision but to no avail.
