I would like to give you some insight into the long-standing and most recent happenings at Oyotunji Village.

Oyotunji has held a long standing history of pedophilia, sexual abuse, physical abuse, spiritual abuse, misappropriation of funds and prohibition of spirit possession behind the gates of Oyotunji&#039;s walls. These accusations have been going on for nearly 20 years now, with many women, and the once children who are now women, still telling their stories to this very day. The recent fires at Oyotunji comes only 4 weeks after the reigning Olori, HRG Tade Oyeilumi of Oyotunji Village (one of the King&#039;s wives) stole over $30,000 US dollars, through her travel agency LANYDC Consulting, from a group of 18 travelers slated to tour Egypt, Nigeria, Benin &amp; Togo from August 10 - August 24, 2018. LANYDC Consulting and Tade Oyeilumi were responsible for the collection of all monies regarding the tour and all travel logistics through the WeTravel booking platform. On August 5, 2018, HRG Tade Oyeilumi sent a message stating that the tour had been cancelled because the funds were no longer available, then completely disappeared, to this day. A subsequent review of the tour account showed a calculated, deliberate theft of the money, by Tade Oyeilumi, that spanned a course of 9 months. The public, in an uproar, immediately shifted their focus to Oyotunji and it&#039;s current King, Oba Adejuyigbe Adefunmi II to inquire as to where his wife can be found. His basic response was that he has nothing to do with his wife and her dealings/whereabouts. 

We have gone to the authorities, however because the group of tour-goers hailed from all over the US, there were too many jurisdictions involved for such a small amount of money. There was basically nothing that could be done.

This tour was the 1st of its kind, led by Oba Atayese Obatala Agbaye of Ile Ife, Odun Ogunlano, nephew of Chief Adenibi Ajamu, one of the founders and pioneers of Oyotunji African Village. The purpose of this tour was to begin the annual journey of reconnecting African Americans back with the culture, customs and traditions of their native ancestors, and many people were watching to see how successful this tour was going to be. 

The people have denounced the Oba as their king. There has been less than 10 people living at the village of 13 acres within the last 10 years. The Horseman that burned to the ground was used for club nights every Friday and Saturday where a local DJ spinned the hottest of the most trashiest of music, drugs are used and displayed freely and it is known that the women with the white African tribal dots dancing seductively are for sale (yes prostitution). The people are calling for accountability. The victims of this crime need every cent of their money back. To this day, Orisa possession is discouraged and forbidden during public festivals for fear of denouncement and recrimination from the deities. The King has been arrogant is responding to the public&#039;s issues and concerns, stating emphatically that, &quot;yes, these things happen, but so does things in your neck of the woods.&quot;

The people are calling for accountability. There is no king without the people. There is no village without the people. The people have been abused. The people want the abuses and horrors of Oyotunji African Village to END.

My name is London Ogunlano. I am the older sister to one of the King&#039;s wives, who is currently being threatened physical abuse if she tries to leave the village. Please help me to bring the spotlight onto that horrid place and bring an end to the madness there.

Best regards,
London Ogunlano
