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. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death.

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has taken to social media to brag about her new status and Muslim name following her marriage to movie marketer Kazim Adeoti.
Amidst criticisms, Mercy Aigbe has continued to share beautiful photos and moments with her new husband.
The photos shared on her Instagram page capture Mercy Aigbe donning a white outfit and white head wrap.
Captioning the post, Mercy Aigbe noted that she is so excited about her new Hajia status adding her Muslim fans need to teach her a lot of things about the religion.
She wrote: Ok I must confess this Hajia status is now sweeting me ….. My Muslim Fans y’all have a lot to teach me oh.

Esabod Global News recalls a new report that revealed that Funsho, Mercy Aigbe’s new husband’s ex-wife was aware he was taking a new wife.
According to Angela Tolulade, a United States of America-based woman, who claimed to be a family friend to the Adeotis told Punch Beats that Adekaz and Juwon were not on good terms before Aigbe came into the picture.
She further revealed that Funsho was told about Adekaz marrying Mercy Aigbe and all due process was followed.
She said, “Adekaz and Funsho got married 20 years ago in the US. A licensed mortgage broker, Adekaz relocated to Nigeria to start a movie production business.
“He came to Nigeria with Funsho, who later went back to the US, saying she did not want to stay in Nigeria. The marriage was on until Funsho refused to come over and her husband kept pushing for her to be around. It is important to note that this matter had dragged on for almost two years. He (Adekaz) told her (Funsho) point-blank that he would marry another wife if she did not return as agreed.”
Tolulade also insisted that Adekaz never shirked his responsibility to their three children. She said, “Till date, Adekaz still carries out his duties as a father. He pays the school fees of the children and foots their other bills. Funsho cannot say he neglected her because she was the one adamant about not returning to Nigeria.”
Speaking further, the family friend stated that despite pressure from her husband, Funsho refused to relocate to Nigeria.
