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, Kemi Afolabi has finally addressed the reports that she sought healing at a Church over her terminal ailment.
It is no longer news that the Yoruba actress is battling Lupus, a terminal ailment.
When news of her ailment broke out, reports started making rounds that Kemi Afolabi had ditched her religion to seek healing at a church.
The actress never denied or confirmed it and as such, the reports lingered in many minds.
Finally reacted to it, Kemi Afolabi stated that she never went to any church to seek healing.
Kemi Afolabi made this known after a religious fanatic tackled her for posting a video promoting her religion.
The critic had questioned if the actress just remembered that she was a Muslim and where Islam was when she was seeking solutions from the Church.
“Since the news of my illness became public. I have gotten reports of different misinformation and false narratives out there. I have ignored as my focus is on my wellbeing and health. I am a devout Muslim who believes in calling on God and seeking his face in times of need, this I have done consistently and JOY is certain in the End. Sometime ago a picture was circulating online insinuating that I had visited Christ Embassy Church for healing, I paid no attention to it because I didn’t see visiting a church or getting prayers from a pastor as a bad thing. After all we all serve same God I believe. Fast forward to Friday, I posted a video of me doing my personal Islamic supplications, @officialeelahandsome dropped a very disturbing comment today asking if I had just remembered that I was a Muslim or where was Islam when I was seeking solutions from the church. Omg I was stunned at how insensitive human could get just to score religion points which can simply be considered as blasphemy. I personally would like to use this medium to debunk such false narrative, never was there a time that I attended a church for healing, the picture circulating online is nit me and I want everyone to please disregard it. I have a personal relationship with Allah, I don’t need anyone to get through him. Love, light, prayer, support and peace”.
