The Oluwo of Iwo, Osun State, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has supported the plan to introduce Sharia law in the South-West.

According to him, Sharia law has been in practice in Yoruba land for a long time.

This came after an Islamic organisation planned the inauguration of a Sharia council scheduled for January 11, 2025, at the Muslim Community Islamic Centre, Oba Adeyemi High School Road, Mobolaje Area, Oyo, Oyo State.

But the inauguration has been postponed indefinitely following public outcry.

The event drew criticism from a cross-section of Nigerians, with many arguing that the predominantly Yoruba South-West was distinct from the northern region, where Muslims were in the majority.

Speaking to Sunday PUNCH, Oba Akanbi, noted that Sharia law was already in Yoruba land.

He said, “We have Sharia banks in the South-West, and these banks operate according to Sharia law. Sharia law has been in Iwo for over 100 years, and there is a Sharia college in Iwo. It’s the right of Muslims to choose customary law or the high court.

Many Muslims feel disenfranchised when it comes to the sharing of inheritance and divorce matters. Western education doesn’t understand the ways of Muslim divorce, marriage, and inheritance. Sharia law is in the constitution of Nigeria, and it’s visible in the North, where there are Nigerians. Anywhere we have Muslims, there is Sharia.”

Oba Akanbi stressed that Sharia law was only for Muslims and did not concern others.

“If any other person likes it, they can convert to Islam, and Muslims can also convert to Christianity. Everyone is free. Sharia shouldn’t be a problem for other religions. No government can deny Muslims their inalienable rights,” he explained.

He must have sniffed that thing that always make him to be yarning opata sometimes

khalling2008:
Those who are shouting on social media don't know that the Sharia panel has been practiced in Yoruba land. Go to Ojo-oba in Ibadan, go to Lagos, and go to other states. The Oyo community will inaugurate their shariah whether they shout from today till kingdom come, nobody will stop the sharia in Yoruba land.
You are free to practice your traditional religion, Christianity in Yoruba land, but to shout that Muslims will not practice sharia law in Yoruba land, that's in your dream, by the time you wake up from your dream, you will realize that your dream is deceiving you in reality
