For these reasons the government did not attempt to attack it, as had happened in the case of William Wadé HARRIS in Ghana and Simon KIMBANGU in the Belgian Congo. Babalola was jailed for a few months on suspicion of participation in a witch eradication campaign, but that was the extent of his conflict with colonial authorities.
Kwa sababu hizi serkali haikujaribu kulipinga, kama ilivyotokea katika suala la William Wadé HARRIS huko Ghana na Simon KIMBANGU kule Kongo ya Ubeligiji. Babalola alifungwa miezi michache kwa shutuma ya kushiriki kampeni ya kuondoa wachawi, lakini huo ndio ulikuwa ukomo wa mgogoro wake na mamlaka ya kikoloni.
