do you think I care if traditionalists buried him?. I only wanted to verify his true religion.

So based on what I have been reading, it is clear to me that oba Lamidi was a mushrik. He was not Muslim. However, his janaza prayer by Muslims is evidently a sign that isese will significantly reduce. This is the first time ever in history that Alafin funeral performed by Muslims. But unfortunately, alfas that performed Salat janaza will have to answer to God because it is not permissible to perform Islamic prayer on nonmuslims.

Maybe Alafin religion was not clear to the imam that prayed on his body. He might based his judgement on what is apparent. What was apparent was his prayed Muslim prayers in public. I think that was the evidence used by the Imam. Anyways, it is wrong.
But it is self evident and confirmation that he is a Muslim because he performed prayers publicly, that is singular thing that separate Muslims from others. And I don't think the imam is wrong for doing his janazah.

Has he performed Sango rites public and he does Islamic prayers? If yes then your proposition might be valid.

He does Sango rites in public. He has always cherished and supported Isese.

This should serve as lessons to other oba to be upright before certainity comes. I was watching several Islamic programs yesterday to figure out what he died upon. Some later retracted their previous position that he died a mushrik.

For instance, oba Iwo AbdulRoshid, ko ru ju that he's Muslim and he makes himself so clear. This is how it should be to a oid confusion. I also heard yesterday that when Awujale of Ijebuland raised the issue sometimes ago, that oba should be buried in accordance to their religion Aalafin Lamidi opposed saying it contravenes isese. Likewise, Sheikh sanusi Zugloo (ra) bemoaned Aalafin of OYO Lamidi to make up his mind whether he's Muslim or sango worshipper. This proves that he openly practiced both Islam and Sango.

To avoid this, it is better for Muslim Oba to be clear or leave their oba for them. So I still thank my grandpa for rejecting obaship when it was his turn.

Interesting and balance view point. I like his approach and middle path he choose. I think he addressed the issue intelligently and very clear enough for any Muslims to understand.

Coincidentally, that's one of our/my sheikh in the neighborhood, his name is Alfa Kewugbemi. He use to do wasi right infront of our house at emirs road back then.

Thanks for sharing.
