Despite warnings by the  Osun State Government, some worshippers of the Osun Deity have trouped to a contaminated popular river claimed to have supernatural powers to perform rituals and drink from it.

The state government had warned that the water has been contaminated by activities of artisan miners and was not safe for consumption.

Despite the warning, on Friday, August 12, many devotees, tourists and other participants of the annual Osun Osogbo Festival were seen drinking from the Osun River.

The devotees, along with visitors who came from several states, were dressed in their white attires and beads, and danced to traditional songs.

Videos shared online show them stooping to scoop from the River to drink.
