The Ooni this evening has commented on the matter again on his Instagram page with the above photo stating –

We are tagged as idol worshippers, but truth be told we are not idol worshippers. Our traditions give all the glory, adoration and honor to the almighty God which we know as Olodumare. #OoniofIfe
