Saudi Arabia Praises Oluwo Of Iwoland On Stance Against Idol Worshipping by Meloshi(m): 10:29am On May 13, 2017
An official of the Ministry of Justice,
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Sheik
Abdul-Azeez Alhajlaan, has described the
Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdul-Rasheed
Akanbi, as a blessing to humanity for his
outright condemnation of idolatry.
Alhajlaan tagged Oluwo a “servant of
merit, appointed to lead the populace
right in all ramifications.” The Islamic
cleric said the authorities of Saudi
Arabia were intimated of the monarch’s
preaching against idolatry and had come
to declare support for him due to his
position on idolatry. A statement said
the Saudi delegation’s visit to the
monarch in Iwo, Osun State, was
facilitated by some Muslim scholars in
the town, including Dr. Sirajudeen Asrau,
Dr. Daud Baki, Dr. Buwaeb, Dr. Qosim
Tijani, Dr. Imran and Mogaji Yaqub Baki.
Conducting Alhajlaan round the palace,
the monarch said his spirituality was tied
to his faith in God, saying his
antagonists had increased because he
removed idols from his palace. Oluwo
said idol worshipping was never part of
the Yoruba culture, while condemning
the “wickedness” of some idols that
request human beings as sacrifice.
Speaking on the need to eradicate some
of the “awkward” cultures and traditions,
Oba Akanbi said, “We are the only race
in the world that sold their (past)
generations to slavery. This is the work
of our predecessors and it is still
rampant among our folks today and you
can see that in child trafficking and sex
slavery.

Hypocrisy at its peak!

The same Saudi Arabian that has near zero tolerance to foreign religions apart from Sunni sect of Islam, now praising a "lost branch" (Oluwo) for embracing a religion alien to the palace.
