Balogun Aaba, a well-known traditional worshipper, was reportedly detained by security personnel in Oyo state for setting fire to a copy of the Holy Qur’an.

The blogger/idol worshipper was arrested when the Muslim group petitioned security authorities. On Monday, December 23, 2024, the video that led to the trouble of former Christian Balogun Aaba was broadcast on Oro Yoruba TV.

Um5mt/A popular idolater, Abdulazeez Adegbola, commonly called Tani Olohun, confirmed the development on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. Speaking in a video on his known Facebook profile, Tani Olohun said:

“‘Alfas’ have been threatening to arrest him for about two weeks now. DSS operatives have picked him up today (Wednesday, January 8), and he has been transferred to Eleyele in Ibadan. “Yoruba people around the world, come to our aid. Isese people are seriously being cheated. Oro Yoruba has been arrested; he is presently in Eleyele (the Oyo state police headquarters).” He continued: “Many people do not know why he was picked, but I will tell you now because I have said it in the past already too. Oro Yoruba and a Muslim were involved in a disagreement online; the person dared him to burn the Qur’an. Oro Yoruba then told him that I, Tani Olohun, once burnt the Quran. The person disagreed and said he would turn into a monkey if he (Balogun Aaba) tried it. You know that is how they (Muslims) frustrated me too during the time of my ordeal with them.”
