OLOKUN is worshipped in Isale Eko, particularly during the tagged 'Ose Olokun' which is done every nine days at the Olokun' enclosure (Iga Olokun) that is situated in Agbo Olokun Court in the heart of Isale Eko. 

All proceedings is led by the Abore Olokun and/or his co-officials. With one heart and faith in the Almighty Eledumare, Olokun is sent to convey the prayers and messages of everyone to the Creator of heaven and earth. 

Songs, and rythmic drum beats follow to make it merrier. 

Awo Olokun, Eyo Olokun are for the initiates, while Ile Olokun is the Oju Olokun/Agbo Olokun Descendants and headed by the Elders.

Isese Day is fast approaching, and the traditional institutions are clamouring for what is due to them in terms of support from the government.
