Oba M'oro: Ghost Catcher King (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798339526933)

Oba M'oro, a bi-lingual Yoruba African historical opera captures the reign of Abipa, who succeeded his father Ajiboyede, as Alaafin of Oyo. In his efforts, on ascending the throne, of fulfilling his father's wishes to relocate displaced Oyo people by the incursion of Tapa warriors, to their ancestral home, Oyo Igboho, he faces stiff opposition from the Oyomesi, whom he thinks, are with him.
Alapinni, the lead chief, in concert with Agbaakin, Likosi and Saamu keep counterfeit ghosts ORO acting as demonic gods that frighten and threaten people from entering Igboho forest. They build mystery around the forest with the ghost acting as demonic gods, rejecting sacrifices for appeasement.
It takes lots of determination, patience, and courage from Alaafin Abipa to unravel the conundrum surrounding the phenomenon. Betrayal of trust, treason, greed, selfishness, hypocrisy portrayed by Alapinni, driven by bitterness and thirst for revenge, with his cartel, finally earn them brutal punishment.
