The Ogun State Police Command has arrested nine Oro worshippers for allegedly attacking some Muslims in Idi-Iroko, in the Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State during the Oro festival. The Oro adherents reportedly imposed a curfew on the people in the area on Saturday, which was defied by some Muslims in the area who went out to observe their prayers. PUNCH Metro gathered that some Muslims and Christians resident in the area were beaten by the Oro worshippers for alleged non-compliance with the order. It was gathered that many Muslims and Christians, who stood against the act, were also beaten and their properties vandalised. The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi confirmed that nine suspects had been arrested. Oyeyemi identified the suspects as Idowu Desu, Monday Akinlolu, Dele Dada, Raimi Jacob, Dondo Sunday, Abiola Azeez, Olarewaju Akerele, Nurudeen Lawal and Tetede Jamiu. The PPRO said the suspects would be charged to court for breach of peace and other criminal acts. Narrating his ordeal in the hands of his assailants, a victim, Tolahat Yahya, alleged that the Oro worshippers destroyed his car during the festival. Yahya, who showed our correspondent his bruised body, claimed that he and his colleagues were attacked on their way to the mosque. He said, “We were coming back from a programme at our mosque when the Oro worshippers attacked us. They beat us because we did not comply with the curfew order. “We stood our ground and grabbed three of them, whom we later handed over to the police. “The intimidation is too much; they refused to allow us practise our religion despite the agreement that the Oro ritual will not be performed at daybreak; they did not obey that.” A peace meeting was reported to have been held on Thursday between the Muslims and the Oro worshippers. The meeting, however, ended in deadlock. Our correspondent, who obtained a copy of the report of the peace meeting held before the Saturday attack, gathered that the traditional ruler in the community allegedly refused to sign a Memorandum of Understanding proposed by the Muslim community. He was reported to have insisted that the community had been performing daybreak rituals for long and would not stop. The monarch further said the Muslims must be ready to either accept the tradition or leave the community. He said, “I am the king here and I have authority over all my subjects, which cannot be queried by anyone. “Traditional worshippers are not criminals and any action you see them take is a counter reaction to an action.” But in his reaction, the leader of the Muslim community advised the monarch to ensure that the community obeyed the judgment of the court that warned against observing the Oro ritual at daybreak. The High Court sitting in Ipokia had given a judgement that the Oro adherents must desist from holding their festival at daybreak in any part of the area.

Look at the way yorobers are fighting each other shamelessly because of religion. Abi yorobers love themselves die? Abi una be one family? I thought in each yorober homes, the family members have different religions ie the papa na Muslim, mama na Christian, Uncle na oro worshipper, aunty na ifa worshipper and they tolerate themselves so what's all these wans? 10 Likes 1 Share |

b0rn2fuck: Hotel room: 10,000 Naira Food & drinks: 5,000 Naira Barbecue fish: 5,000 Naira Recharge card: 1,000 Naira Condoms: 500 Naira --------------------------------------------- Total: 31,500 Naira All of the above frivolous expenses just to make love to a woman I met online!?!? I have stopped that madness since. Imagine spending such on 24 different ladies in one year, we are talking of 756,000 Naira in just a year because I want to prove that I am not a stingy man. I repeat, it will never happen again. Until some single men realize the frivolous error they are doing and until some ladies understand that they are missing their husbands because they want it all in a day then we will keep on having numerous unmarried spinsters and bachelors. Some men should please receive sense, spend wisely on your wife or your wife to be. Think about tomorrow. 27 Likes 2 Shares |
