Abobaku in Yoruba means someone that dies with the king, when the king dies the Abobaku also dies with the king and is a chieftancy title to some family. The Abobaku of Ile Ife is currently on the run which may stall the final burial rite of the Late Oba Sijuade the Ooni Of Ife.
Given the severity of this position, the Abobaku leads an affluent life, taking care of the king and enjoying numerous benefits in the town.
The Oba’s death in London had allowed word of his demise to filter around, and this reportedly gave the Abobaku ample time to flee.
