The Oyo State chapter of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria has indefinitely postponed the inauguration of the Sharia court originally scheduled for January 11, 2025
This announcement was made in a statement signed by the Khadimul Muslimeen of Oyo Kingdom, Imam Daud Igi Ogun, on Tuesday.
The statement read: “On behalf of the Oyo Muslim indigenes, this is to inform the general public that the inauguration ceremony of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (Oyo branch), previously scheduled for January 11, 2025, at the Muslim Community Islamic Center, Oba Adeyemi High School Road, Mobolaje Area, Agbongangan, Oyo, has been suspended until further notice. Islam portrays peace!”
Earlier, a flier inviting guests from across Nigeria to the event went viral. It detailed plans for the inauguration ceremony and listed key dignitaries, including the Bashorun of Oyo land, High Chief Yusuf Akinade Olayinka I, as the Royal Father of the Day; Mufairu of Oyo land, Alhaji Abdullateef Eleyele, as the Spiritual Father of the Day; and Aare Musulumi of Oyo land, Alhaji Tajudeen Kamorise, as the Chief Host.
However, the announcement was met with criticism online, with many arguing that the Yoruba-dominated South West is not comparable to the northern region, where Muslims are more prevalent.
