Bago, in the now viral video, is seen clad in a white agbada flanked by some officials in a small gathering, talking to the audience about the young man(seen on his kneels). Shortly after, he ordered for the man to be slapped and arrested.
The Governor asked; “are you an Imam? This is an act of indiscipline, I am calling the Imam to pray not you”.
