An Oba from Osun state has stirred up controversy due to his religious practices.
Oba Muhammad Qozeem Ilufemiloye who is 38 is the Olowu of Owu Ile and he attends public functions with his wives totally covered in hijab.
It is quite unusual for Obas to be religious hence his style has generated interesting reactions online
A Facebook user, Olu Adegoke was distressed
What is Yoruba tradition turning into? The other day, another Oba was rolling on the floor for JESUS.
