We have just received this video,which purportedly shows the burial of the last abobaku. If true, then it’s sickening!!!
This follows the earlier alleged escape and recapture of the man upon hearing of the Oba’s death on several media platforms, despite denials by the Traditional Royal Council of Ife. The Abobaku is believed to have been appointed to live and die with the Ooni .
According to Yoruba tradition, a king does not die alone. His burial rites include being buried with other people.
Yesterday, as announced by his family and Ife traditional chiefs the Ooni was buried. Unconfirmed sources posit that the abobaku was interred alongside the late Oba.The traditional burial rites, has been described as barbaric in several quarters.
