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.

The disqualification of former BBNaija housemate Tacha has continued to stir reactions as ace comedian, Ay Makun opines that if the country must make progress, such efforts are needed.
Tacha has been trending on social media as celebrities and fans keep airing their thoughts over her exit from the house, while some have been jubilating.

He also shared his opinion on the disqualification.
AY said: “But that part where they now had to throw her [Tacha] out is the part that I do not support. Not like I support violence but it was quite subtle. It was just a pull like ‘get your hair off my face’ kind of attitude.” The comedian spoke further that Mercy attempted the real violence when she picked an object to attack Tacha with. He said: “Mercy attempted grabbing a bottle or something to use on her before the boys came in.”
Recall that singer Zlatan Ibile dropped a diss track to make mockery of Tacha, shortly after her disqualification on Friday, September 27.
Also, Mr P of the defunct Psquare music group has been a die-hard fan of the Port Harcourt first daughter, as he promised her endorsement deal and a sum of N60 million if she does not win the 2019 edition.
But, Mr P denied making such declaration after Tacha’s exit from the house.
