Overview

In a posthumous audio recording obtained by SaharaReporters, Chief Arounfale emotionally recounted his harrowing experience at the Alaafin’s palace.

A Yoruba traditional ruler based in the United States, His Royal Highness Chief Lukman Ojora Arounfale, the Baba Oba of Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, has died following an alleged assault ordered by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade.

The reported assault occurred at the Alaafin's palace and has been linked to a violent fallout between the Alaafin and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, over matters of royal supremacy.
