Islamic Cleric Who Vowed Never To Remove Lawani Spotted Abroad With Face Cap (Video)

Social media is buzzing with reactions as an old video of an unidentified Ibadan-based Islamic cleric, who once declared he would never part with his Lawani (traditional Islamic headgear), resurfaced alongside a contrasting image of him wearing a face cap abroad.

The viral video features a popular Ibadan broadcaster, Kola Olotu, interviewing the cleric. During the exchange, the broadcaster posed a hypothetical question: would the cleric remove his Lawani to gain access to a place that prohibits it, or would he forgo entering altogether? The cleric emphatically replied, “I will never remove my Lawani. I can’t compromise my faith for the fleeting enjoyment of this world.”

However, a recent photo circulating online shows the same cleric abroad, this time sporting a face cap instead of his traditional Lawani. The stark contrast between his past conviction and his current appearance has set the social media abuzz, with many netizens questioning his decision to abandon the headgear he once vowed to uphold.

Critics have labeled the shift as hypocritical, while others argue that adapting to foreign customs might have influenced his choice. Supporters of the cleric, however, have come to his defense, suggesting that the cleric’s decision could have been situational and not a reflection of his core beliefs.

Read some netizens’ reactions to the viral video below;

@Xenderobi: i won’t be surprised if this guy scammed a whole lot of his congregation to get into UK

@Arizona: Lol, you want him to dress like a masquerade in the name of religion that nobody gives F word. They will call police for him for scary kids on the street.

@Damilare: Jejely this man has cause himself in the video before even doing it haha 😂

Whether this was a pragmatic choice or a compromise remains a subject of debate among netizens.
