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.

Tinubu, Bode George and conciliation

  AFTER notable Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former Ondo State governor, Bode George, threatened to go on exile should President-elect Bola Tinubu win the presidential poll, few people expected there would be any kind of conciliation soon after the polls or days to the swearing-in ceremony.
