The Police Commissioner of Kwara State, Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi, has issued a declaration for the arrest of Salam Ayodeji. Ayodeji is sought after for purportedly issuing threats to Isese practitioners in Ilorin, Kwara State.
According to a report, Ayodeji not only harassed a female Isese adherent in Ilorin but also warned of causing harm if she didn’t depart the town within eight days.
Ayodeji, in the video shared on X, Sunday, was heard accosting the lady asking if women sell electronics before giving her an eight-day ultimatum to evacuate the building where she transacted business.
He said in Yoruba, “Do women sell electronics?” Ayodeji asked, to which his cohorts responded, “We have never heard of such.”
The cleric continued saying, “We have told you what we want; leave the town. We do not allow Isese people in our town.”
Recall the Muslim cleric in his rant on Sunday also claimed to have the backing of the police commissioner.
In a meeting with Ayodeji’s family, on Monday, Adelesi asked the family to produce the suspect latest Wednesday for the alleged offence of terrorism and defamation against the police.
The police boss also berated the family for what she described as “the poor training of their son”.
“Is it because Tajudeen’s wife is from Osun State? Does that mean she’s a traditionalist? Or are there no Muslims in Osun State”, the enraged CP queried.
The commissioner who also spoke with the Alaran family, renters to the Isese adherents who were evicted per Ayodeji’s threats, berated them for obliging the suspect.
Ayodeji responding to the police commissioner said they had unsuccessfully tried to locate their son, whose phone line had remained unreachable for days now.
Tajudeen, husband to the Isese lady, who was bullied and threatened by Ayodeji and his cohorts, said the suspect’s family had asked for his forgiveness and he had given it.
