Undercover cancel culture and terrorism: Meet Reverend Lijadu who tried to infiltrate Isese

Reverend Lijadu pictured was born into a Christian family in Abeokuta, NIGERIA a city in South West Nigeria (Yoruba Land).

Inadvertently throughout the training process when he was undercover, he then realized that Yoruba traditional identity (isęse) made a lot of sense and he eventually abandoned Christianity to become a traditionalist.
