A female TikTok content creator has been compelled to undergo traditional cleansing rites after allegedly filming a procession associated with the annual Oloolu Masquerade Festival in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Videos of her later undergoing traditional rites at the Oloolu compound have since gone viral across social media platforms.
Adeola Oloko, a chief and spokesperson to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, clarified that the woman did not film the sacred Oloolu masquerade itself but rather recorded Alawo Oloolu, a figure associated with the Oloolu tradition.
We contacted the Mogaji of the Oloolu compound, and he confirmed that a woman who mistook Alawo of Oloolu for the real Oloolu masquerade and captured it on the street,” Oloko said.
Videos circulating online showed the woman participating in what appeared to be public traditional cleansing rites at the Oloolu compound.
