An Islamic cleric said he wanted to challenge Femi Adebayo over director Nancy Izumi’s new film that focuses on the use of the hijab. The Ilorin-based cleric believes Adebayo should reject any project that goes against Islamic values ββand vowed to make his position clear.
In response, Femi Adebayo‘s fans criticized the cleric for undermining Nigeria’s Islamic faith. Here are some reactions from social media:

Ifeoluwamiracle698 wrote: “This man does not understand the consequences of his actions. If anything happens to Femi Adebayo or his family you will have to answer for it. A peaceful religion indeed.”
El.rakeemariyoh suggested: “Report this guy to the British Embassy, ββcancel his visa and ban him forever. They are turning a religion today into something akin to a secret cult. Shake your head π”
Darrypapa posted: “Jesus Power. Holy Spirit. May it be. We claim the blood of Jesus for Femi Adebayo. Nothing evil can come near or touch him. Amen. In the name of the power of Jesus. π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯”
