Ẹdẹ is a predominantly Muslim town with about 75% of the population. This can be traced back to 19th century during the reign of Timi Abibu Lagunju as the king of Ẹdẹ, who is the first Muslim Oba in Yorubaland given the fact that he was already on the throne for a few years when in November 1857, the Baptist missionary W.
