Why Alaafin’s Silence Troubles Wasiu Ayinde

Published

on

The last may not have been heard in the sexual allegation scandal between top musician, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde and one of the wives of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Olori Badirat Ajoke with claims that the musician is worried with the silence of the Alaafin over the matter.

A source close to the popular artiste who holds the title of the Mayegun of Yorubaland explained that the silence of the Alaafin in the whole issue means a lot and it’s a lot of concern for Wasiu Ayinde who has enormous respect for the monarch.

It was said that the musician, popularly called K1 reached out to the traditional ruler at the wake of the scandal and he was said to have been assured by the monarch not to worry as he would make a statement that would clear him off the scandal.

The Mayegun waited for three days without any statement being released by the palace and was alarmed by the negative impact the scandal was leaving on his reputation when he decided to clear his name, and even threatened a redress.

The singer was also interviewed by popular journalist, Dele Momodu where he vehemently denied the allegation which he claimed was the handwork of people who opposed his selection for the Mayegun title and wanted to create enmity between him and the respected monarch.

The queen in the centre of the allegation on her part had also come out to debunk the allegation while calling on all the gods in Yorubaland to punish her if she had anything to do with the musician.

The monarch was silent throughout the period the scandal became news.

An individual close to the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi hinted that the powerful monarch’s silence could only mean the Alaafin is still investigating the matter.

In his words, he said ‘you know Baba is very blunt. He doesn’t joke with family and traditional matters like this, but he is someone that holds on to facts. His silence means he is still investigating the matter and be sure Baba would come out as soon as he gets the fact’.

Dublin based blogger, Esther Aboderin was the first to write the story where she claimed the Alaafin of Oyo palace says the youngest wife of the Yoruba monarch has been sent packing, as she was alleged to be having sexual affairs with Fuji music legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall.

Olori Badirat Adejoke, the 9th wife of Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi is the youngest of his wives. She is currently a youth corps member after graduating from the prestigious University of Ibadan, Ibadan Oyo state.
