According to tradition, this is a way to pay their farewell to the late traditional ruler.

It’s a big taboo and the people that killed him are making mockery of him
This is why I can never marry a king.
Deji of Akure came all the way from abroad to become a king and now they have killed him Wicked people

The fact that it is their tradition doesn’t make it right.
In the Yorubaland if a King dies, people must be banned from seeing him.
Ti oba ba waja, a kiiii wooo.

It is obvious that if he had cancer and was complaining of a headache, he had cancer brain tumor . No one killed him. Did they carry out an autopsy on him ?
