The life of the Oba of Lagos is truly fit for a king. In this article, we'll explore the lifestyle, family, rise to power, and Controversies of the Oba of Lagos.
Gangs of Lagos, since its release, has been a subject of controversies among the indigenous people of Lagos State, with the Isale Eko Descendants Union claiming that the film depicted Isale Eko as a den of criminals and Eyo masquerade as a gang of murderers.
Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos has described the movie, “Gangs of Lagos”, as defamatory and sacrilegious for depicting the “Eyo” as criminal gangs that commit sordid crimes. The traditional ruler demanded that the producers of Gangs of Lagos should submit within 14 days a draft of an appropriately worded apology to the Oba of Lagos and indigenous people of Lagos.
The defendants had queried Lagos State’s jurisdiction over the production of the film before the court by some indigenes of the state. | Pulse Nigeria
