Far-famed Osogbo-based Ifa priest, Chief Ifayemi Elebuibon, on Tuesday, demanded recognition for African Traditional Religion, saying such official recognition from the government has been long overdue.
Abdulazeez Adegbola, popularly known as Tani Olohun, a traditional religion worshipper, has said he does not have any plan to leave his religion as speculated. Tani Olohun said this during an exclusive interview session with BBC Yoruba monitored by SaharaReporters. He stated that there was no time he agreed to convert to Islam for his cases to be dismissed in Kwara State. Tani Olohun spent 91 days at the Federal Correctional Service in Ilorin, the state capital, for allegedly defaming some Islamic clerics.
The Chief Magistrate Court of Kwara State has adjourned the hearing of a case filed against Adegbola Abdulazeez, an Isese (traditional religion) practitioner and activist, also known as Tani Olohun to January 30, 2024. The Isese practitioner was remanded in prison last year for trumped-up charge of planning to start a war in the city by "inviting other traditional and idol worshippers to assemble in Ilorin on the 20th of August, 2023.”
Abdulazeez Adegbola, popularly known as Tani Olohun, a traditional religion worshipper, on Friday regained his freedom from detention after perfecting his bail conditions as ordered by a Kwara Chief Magistrates Court sitting in Ilorin. Tani Olohun had spent 91 days in the custody of the Federal Correctional Service in Ilorin, the state capital.
