Mohbad: All you need to know about 'Oku Riro', invoking the spirit of the dead which was suggested by some quarters
The recent demise of a 27-year-old singer, Oladimeji Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad ignited a lot of controversy on social media. Some people clamoured for autopsy while others who are probably in the minority claimed that his corpse should be treated in the Yoruba way - Oku Riro. Would this have occurred if people had continued to respect and tolerate the Yoruba practice of calling upon the spirits of the dead? Does this route truly exist? Is it still functional?
