A Moment of Respect at Ogogo's Fidau
In the footage, Antar Laniyan was already seated at the event when Chatta arrived. Rather than simply waving or nodding in greeting, Chatta walked directly to the veteran and went down in a full prostration, a traditional Yoruba gesture of deep respect.
Laniyan stretched out his hand warmly as the two exchanged pleasantries, after which Chatta moved on to greet others present at the gathering.
