The comment “This Babalawo is not being a professional” misses the crucial context of the situation. While professionalism typically involves discretion, the Babalawo’s decision to expose the woman’s plot to kill her husband was a necessary step to prevent a serious crime. Keeping such a dangerous plan secret could have led to harm or even loss of life, making the Babalawo’s actions a critical intervention for public safety.
Criticizing the Babalawo for not adhering to traditional confidentiality overlooks the ethical responsibility of preventing harm. In cases involving potential violence, prioritizing secrecy over safety can have dire consequences. The Babalawo’s choice to reveal the threat was an important measure to protect those at risk and address a grave issue that required immediate action.
