A man known for touching men’s muscles, particularly in bodybuilding circles, has been discovered deceased at his residence in Liverpool. Merseyside Police responded to a call reporting an unresponsive man in his 60s near Princes Park on Tuesday evening. The individual was identified as 64-year-old Akinwale Arobieke.
Akinwale Arobieke, a bodybuilder, passed away at the age of 64 at his Liverpool home on Tuesday. In a notable legal victory in 2015, he successfully appealed a ten-year ban on touching men’s muscles, which had been imposed on him.
Arobieke had expressed his desire to move on from past legal restrictions that had negatively impacted his life. Despite facing previous legal issues and controversy surrounding his behavior, Arobieke continued to be a prominent figure in the bodybuilding community.
Akinwale Arobieke’s death has been deemed non-suspicious by authorities. The coroner’s office is reviewing information provided by Merseyside Police regarding the circumstances of his passing.
In recent years, Arobieke was involved in legal disputes with law enforcement agencies, including a lawsuit against the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, which resulted in a substantial settlement. He alleged that he was unfairly targeted by specific officers in a campaign to incriminate him.
Arobieke’s notoriety stemmed from incidents where he touched individuals’ muscles without consent, leading to legal repercussions and public scrutiny. Despite facing challenges and legal battles, Arobieke remained a controversial and high-profile figure in the bodybuilding community.
