The female TikTok content creator at the centre of controversy surrounding the annual Oloolu Masquerade Festival in Ibadan, Oyo State, has denied filming the sacred Oloolu masquerade and dismissed widespread social media speculation that she had d!ed
Speaking by telephone on Lagelu FM’s Ibi Aye N Lo programme hosted by Adesoye Omotosho on Monday, the woman, identified as Wasilat, insisted she neither recorded the revered traditional figure nor lost her life.
“I am not de.ad. I did not capture the Oloolu masquerade. May I not be implicated; I did not record Oloolu,” she said.
She explained that on the day of the incident last Thursday, around the Oremeji axis, she went to her shop but did not open it, remaining outside because the area had already been packed up.
She said she saw people and an Amotekun vehicle passing, filmed that scene and posted it online. Oloolu, she maintained, did not pass along that route.
“Everyone in the TikTok comment section asked me to delete it.
The following day, while I was at the shop, they came to meet me there. I do not know why the eyewitnesses on Thursday did not defend me. I don’t know who came up with that agenda, but I know God will judge,” she added.
