Meaning of Ayelala | Babel Free

Definitions

A female orisha of justice and prosecution widely feared for her harsh punishments for those who commit criminal offences. She is believed to have originally been a slave from the town of Ìlàjẹ and was executed for a crime she did not commit, and soon was deified as an orisha upon the discovery of her innocence. Her role as a punisher of criminals is comparable to the role of Orò among the Ẹ̀gbá.
