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.

Ehi Ogbebor, a socialite and interior decorator, uploaded videos from her grandmother’s burial ceremony in Benin, Edo state, but her friend, Bobrisky was missing.
Bobrisky was observed in a convoy earlier in the day as he arrived in the city, but he was not visible with people he was riding with during the burial service.

“Bob go dey wish if he can just retrieved his or her statement, because the style of his or her clothes for be fire.” Another user wrote.

“Even if bob Dey benin fear no go let am come out, you don’t publicly cruise with oba! Dem go flog nonsense comot from her body” one CristianUchenna wrote.
Another user commented, “I can picture bob risky punch!ng an invisible air and argu!ng with an empty room right now”
