The reception was organised in honour of his in-law, Alhaji Abdul Fafiu Atanda, and took place at The Beverly International Event Centre in Gbagada, Lagos State.
Alao Malaika Was Performing When It Happened
Fuji music star Alao Malaika was on stage performing when the incident occurred. Members of his band were spotted smiling as the scene unfolded, and Malaika himself appeared to take notice before continuing the performance.
The footage quickly made its rounds online, pulling in viewers with sharply divided opinions.
A section of the audience condemned the singer outright, arguing that an Islamic musician of his standing should not carry himself in such a manner in public. Others were more measured, with some suggesting the woman in the video could be one of his wives.
Saoti Arewa's Marital Life Previously in the Spotlight
This is not the first time the singer has drawn attention for reasons beyond his music. Reports and videos that have circulated online previously claimed that Saoti Arewa has six wives, identified as Asunke, Amope, Adunni, Akanke, another woman also called Adunni, and Alake.
The latest video has reignited conversations about his public conduct and the expectations placed on religious musicians.
