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.

Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham has urged her followers to desist from making snide remarks about her long-running rival, Liz Anjorin
.
According to Toyin Abraham, it is quintessential
for her fans to maintain peace and drag
anyone on her behalf.
Abraham’s post is coming several days after she was seen crying during her live session with a colleague, Iyabo Ojo.
The actress stated that she does not want the feud to escalate beyond what is ongoing at the moment.
It is important I say this at this point though I have said it before and hopefully, this is the last time I want to say this.
I cannot and will not be held responsible for anyone claiming to be fighting for me while ‘abusing; cursing or calling out’ perceived
enemies or colleagues.”
She continued;
I saw certain videos on social media of people who purportedly are fighting for me and cursing others and dragging innocent kids into needless drama.
Please I am not in any way in support of this.
Not once have I ever sent anyone on this type of errand.
Please keep kids out of the drama.
These kids will grow up and as they say, the internet never forgets.”
In the concluding part of her publication, she spoke against cyberbullying.
Here is what the actress said;
Lastly, I strongly suspect that some people are benefiting from this back and forth; (cos, what I watched this evening, video of people cursing colleagues’/ people’s kids is unnecessary and evil) hence the continuous fueling of this tiring drama.
Lastly, if you are a victim of cyberbullying by anyone; kindly pursue it to a logical legal conclusion and make the bully pay
That is what I intend to do from now on and this is the last time I will be issuing this kind of statement.”
