Adegbola Abdulazeez, also known as Taniolorun (Who is God), is a well-known activist and devotee of Ilorin Isese who was detained and imprisoned in Kwara State on charges of slander.
According to reports, Taniolorun was detained for, among other things, defaming the Emir of Ilorin.
The well-known Isese activist was detained on August 16 in Ibadan and sent to a police station in Ilorin, according to a post on his Facebook page on Thursday.

“Taniolorun was arrested in Ibadan this evening (August 16) and taken to a police station in Ilorin,” the post simply read.
Another post on August 17, disclosed that the activist had been charged to court and called on support from other Isese practioners.
The post read: “All Isese practitioners, meet Taniolohun in court in Ilorin. Very urgent.”
A Youtube video released Thursday, also showed Taniolorun discussing the outcome of a prior meeting between Isese practitioners, their lawyer and the police on the ban placed on Isese festivals in Ilorin.
“At this point in this land of Ilorin, called the Emirate, the Isese worshippers will have the right to worship as well. Why is it so hard for the alfas to preach peace and allow everyone to celebrate how they wish? Shouldn’t we all be preaching and seeking for peace to reign in the same state we all love?” Talolorun asked.
A video by an admin on the page Friday also confirmed Talolrun’s arrest assuring supporters that the popular Isese advocate will regain his freedom.
“Yoruba people celebrating the arrest of Talolorun, did you believe he would not be eventually arrested?
“They have been trying to arrest him for a long time so his arrest did not come as a surprise to us.
“He can not be killed because he did not kill anyone. He will be free. He did not rape anyone, he was only sharing his thoughts on the situation of things
“Arresting Talolorun does not mean the world will end. We are fighting for our ancestors. We are fighting for our culture and tradition not to go into extinction.”
