Sunday Adeyemo, the Yoruba nation agitator, who is popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has stirred reactions after disclosing that he is a Christian who also makes use of traditional charms.
The activist made this known in a video going viral on social media.
In the clip, he was speaking before a group of traditional rulers, where he talked about his religious background, family history, and spiritual life.
He explained that being a Christian does not stop him from making use of charms.
Igboho said he was born into a Christian home and grew up in the church.
However, he also stated that he was trained in traditional practices from a young age.
According to him, his father is a known babalawo based in Modakeke, and this influenced his knowledge of traditional spirituality.
He added that he relates to people of different religions and does not see a problem in combining beliefs.
While speaking, he mentioned Islamic cleric Muideen Ajayi Bello as an example of someone from a different faith, saying that religion does not prevent interaction among people with different backgrounds.
Sunday Igboho was born in Igboho, a historic town in the Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State.
His family later moved to Modakeke in Osun State, where he spent his early years.
He said, “I am a Christian, but I use charms. I do all religions. Even Islamic father, Muideen Ajayi Bello is a Muslim, I am a Christian. I was born in church, but I do charms. I was trained in the act. Everyone knows my father is a babalawo in Modakeke.”
