He studied under Ogunbayo Akiode, grandson of Esubiyi, and is now an independent artist working in the Egbado Quarter of Ibara, Abeokuta, where he continues to make gelede, egungun, and oro headdresses. His forms tend to be more full and rounded than those of his teacher. The oro secret society is charged with carrying out judgements handed down by the ogboni. It is said that the cult official, asipa oro, wears this type with a palmfrond costume within the oro grove igboro during daylight hours, but at night, with all non-oro members locked inside, the masquerader moves through the town greeting the chiefs. A song praising the mask makes reference to the horns of the bushbock owo igala. Male and female figures sometimes seen suspended upside down between the horns are said to be references to the victims of oro executions.
