Eyo Ologede, also known as Egun Olugbani or Mole Ejilu, are believed to be associated with Olugbani, the notable Idumota trader and wife of Oba Ado, the revered Oba of Lagos. Olugbani’s brothers eventually introduced Ologede, alongside two other Adamu Orisas, to take part in Oba Ado’s funeral rites. Their popular "Suku" hairstyle is easily recognizable, but during the festival, it is taboo for female spectators to wear the same hairstyle. Another distinguishing part of their costume is their green wide-brimmed hats with banana motifs. The Eyo Ologede is the fourth in the hierarchy of Igas and is regarded as the "Herald of Peace", responsible for bestowing peace on the land.
