The Adimu Orisa was brought to Lagos by the brothers of Olugbani, the well-known Idumota trader and wife of Oba Ado, the Oba of Lagos. Although they were brought in last of the three Orisas, they are regarded as the most sacred and most senior of all three and all other Eyo conclaves. During the Opa rite, the Adimu group informs the State Governor and other dignitaries about the upcoming festival. Without their approval, the procession cannot commence. They are easily identifiable by their distinctive black and white wide-brimmed hat, adorned with a black star and moon insignia.
