This famousity has attracted goodwill and patronage to this Oye Ekiti born business man. However like in
any human endeavors, price must be paid for glamour and success.
Therefore, it is with a mixed feelings the news that Akintunde Ayeni is pushing drugs was received by the public. While some dismissed the news with a wave of hand, many takes it as a gospel truth
The matter attained a higher dimension of talk around when it was circulated that Akintunde Ayeni is a
frequent traveler to many foreign countries like U.K, Asia, China among others.
But the straw that breaks the camel’s back, was the opening of a gigantic tourist edifice known as
Pathfinder Hotel in Ado Ekiti, the Capital of Ekiti State, in the South West of Nigeria.
Because, immediately after the house warming ceremony, the NDLEA, the agency of Federal Government that controls drugs and allied matters in Nigeria, put machinery in motion and whisked Akintunde Ayeni away to their interrogation centre.The rest is history.
But now, the man at the bottom of the matter, Dr Ishola Akintunde Ayeni, Yem Kem has, for the first time opens up and addressed public about the issue of drug pushing.
It all takes place at the palace of Ooni of Ife kingdom,Ile Ife,the most ancient town in the South West of Nigeria, West Africa. At a ceremony put together to formally introduce Yem Kem as the president of the Herbal Therapy Society of Nigeria (HTSN) to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi on the 10th of April 2018.
Dr Akintunde Ayeni while pleading with Ooni to do all withing his powers for the development, promotion, and acceptance of traditional medicines of Yoruba land, explained what led to his being castigated as a drug baron.
Yem Kem explained that many people have stigmatized traditional medicine as a product of the illiterates,and down trodden citizens .
That was a reason that the wealth of any successful herbal Practitioner is a subject of suspicion,that it must have comes from hidden sources.
Dr.Akintunde Ayeni then narrated how National Drug Law Enforcement Agencies (NDLEA) pounced on him
after opening of His Hotel at Ado Ekiti, drilling and grilling him to explain the source of his money.
Because, they say an ordinary practitioner of herbal medicine cannot be able to get money to build an edifice like his Parthfinder Hotel.
After a lot of explanation and revelation of his bank transactions, they realized the fact that traditional medicine is capable of creating wealth, if conscientiously packaged as he and his society members are doing.
He thereafter presented many modernized packages of herbal medicine to Oba Enitan Ogunwusi.
