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.

According to DailySun, the incident which happened at a hotel along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, few days ago, came to the open when his lover who allegedly lost her husband recently raised the alarm attracting the hotel management to the scene.
The hotel management had reportedly invited the Police who took the body to an unnamed hospital where he was confirmed dead.
The remains have since been deposited in a mortuary while the lady lover was detained at Trans-Ekulu Police station Enugu.
However, the embattled lady has denied having s-x with her man lover.
The widow claimed that when she arrived the hotel from Anambra state, the man had taken two bottles of big stout and some substance suspected to be sex enhancing drug in readiness for action.
According to her, surprisingly, “he started behaving abnormally and breathing fast. I had not even touched him. So, I shouted and called the hotel people.”
ESABOD gathered that when the wife of the deceased was eventually contacted, she came to Enugu and was told what happened. She opted not to pursue the case but instead, in agreement with the husband’s relations decided to retrieve the corpse from the police for burial.
“His wife said that it was a shameful death so they’re not ready to make case with anybody.
She has gone to the court to get the necessary papers to claim the corpse,” a source volunteered.
Police public relations officer for Enugu State, Ebere Amaraizu could not speak on the status of the matter, claiming to have just returned from official trip outside the state.
