Despite the warning, on Friday, August 12, 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.
