The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, died on Friday, April 22, and his demise has already been trailed with a lot of drama.
The 83-year-old monarch who had many wives before his death is once again in the news over one of his young wives, Queen Dami.
According to reports, Queen Dami, who had initially left the palace and abandoned the king, finally returned upon news of the monarch’s death.
However, Dami’s return was not met with celebration and she was reportedly disgraced from the premises.
In a video posted by Gistloversgram on Instagram, one of the late king’s people was heard questioning the young queen on why she was at the palace. The lady in the video, who is said to be one of the late king’s daughters, was also seen raining heavy curses on the olori.
Also in the video, the same lady was heard saying that she did not want to see Queen Badirat and all the other young oloris who abandoned the palace when the Alaafin was still alive. According to her, there would be more trouble if they dared to show their faces on the premises.
