The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has condemned the religious profiling of bandits as Muslims, insisting that criminals should not be identified with Islam.

In a statement issued on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Alli, the monarch said bandits lacked the basic attributes that qualify an individual as a Muslim, stressing that wearing a turban or bearing an Arabic name does not make anyone a follower of Islam.

According to him, bandits neither observe the mandatory Islamic prayers nor exhibit the religious practices expected of Muslims.

He said, “I condemn in totality the religious profiling of bandits as Muslims. Real Muslims are not bandits. You cannot see a mosque in the den of bandits. The herdsmen don’t equally have mosques in their abode (Gaa). They have no identification of Muslims in all ramifications.”

Oba Akanbi further argued that turbans were not exclusive to Muslims, stating that many non-Muslims living in desert regions also wear them.

He also dismissed claims that the Arabic spoken by some bandits was proof of their religion, explaining that Arabic is spoken by people of different faiths.

Oluwo said, “Bandits have no religion. Have you ever seen where bandits observe solat (Islamic mandatory prayers)? They might be wearing turbans, but not only Muslims wear turbans. People in the desert who are not Muslims also wear turbans.

“Many churches in Arab countries use the Arabic language to preach. We have people in all Islamic-populated countries who are not Muslims but speak Arabic.”

The traditional ruler described the continued association of banditry with Islam as unfair, attributing the activities of some bandits to the failure of past governments rather than religion.

He urged Nigerians to stop linking banditry to Islam and called on the government to take legislative action against social media commentators whom he accused of using online platforms to discredit Muslims.

I remembered the ostrich that hides it's head in the sand thinking that no one is seeing it's entire body as it is not seeing anyone, I think Christians and traditionalists shouts allahu akbar too, continue deceiving yourselfs, it will reach everyone if care is not taken

Not all moslems are terrorists but all terrorists are moslem.

The ones that prayed Eid on salah day what were they observing?

The first true step to addressing a problem is acceptance of facts.

This crack head that's always on drug think everyone in Nigeria is deluded like his subjects

Who made this guy a king self

Eish

What you say discloses the sum total of what you know and mirrors who you are!

Give him his best food ,odourless semovita and amala to share to his subjects who are undeniably under the mercy of terrorists and they essily sing thesame rythm and dance in thesame owa":be tunes of this man

It is time DSS beam their torchlight on this Emir of Iwo.

izombie:
Not all moslems are terrorists but all terrorists are moslem.

And all their sympathisers are Muslims.
Sultan and the many muslim leaders including the Oluwo haven’t actually come out to sincerely condemn them

The monarch is correct, they are his fellow monarch's, maybe they should arrest him for further questioning.

Well, they think they are.. even your country men in the North see them as fighters for islamic domination over the entire Nigeria.
If not, you won't see a terrorist killing policemen, soldiers, vigilantes etc. and say it's peace talk you want to do with them or be sending them on Hajj to Saudi.

Bandits and Muslims are one and the same. The principles are the same and there is no amount of gaslighting that can change that.

They are definitely Muslims, like every terrorist group in the world...

They also pose valuable use to world powers to distabilize other countries for national interest.

It is all in their religion ideology.

Moderate Muslims are quick to reject bokoharam, bandit and iswap as muslims but if they win a course for Allah they are considered Muslims.

Bunch of hypocrite

Since you self has shouted ALLAHU AKBAR in your comment then you are also a Muslim and a terrorist.

People like this are dangerous in the society, they confuse and obliterate meaningful approach of correcting the ilk of the society. is it the Christians or traditional worshippers that are shouting al hawa kubair at the success of their raids?

Looooool
What are they?
Bandit are what?

Rada rada. Brainwashed and islamaphobic altogether. Shame.

Yoruba Muslim at it again. Always capping sh*t.

Ok bandits are Christians, ekpa

They are born and breed up as Muslims. Everything about Islam, they know as you know, sir.

Trying to patronise them, maybe he feels by saying this they'd pity him when they catch him. Of course, that's if he isn't one of the sponsors...cos these lots can do anything for money.. even sell their people off to terrorists.
