Saoti Arewa Faces Backlash Over Controversial Dance Video

Alhaji Abdul-Salam Azeez Abiodun Ajiroba, known as Saoti Arewa, has come under scrutiny following the release of a video from a burial reception held in honor of his in-law, Alhaji Abdul Fafiu Atanda, at The Beverly International Event Centre in Gbagada. In the video, Saoti Arewa is seen dancing closely with a woman while making suggestive gestures towards her chest area, prompting visible reactions from attendees.

The incident occurred while popular artist Alao Malaika was performing on stage. The footage quickly circulated on social media, leading to polarized opinions among viewers.

Some condemned Saoti Arewa for his behavior, arguing that it is inappropriate for an Islamic musician of his stature, while others speculated that the woman could be one of his wives. This incident is not the first time Saoti Arewa has attracted attention for controversial reasons, as reports suggest he has six wives.

The recent video has reignited discussions about the expectations of public conduct for religious musicians.
