The Oluwo of Iwo, Osun State, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has ed 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.

Apt. It's a necessity, right in time.

We're in full

Those who are shouting on social media don't know that the Sharia 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

Someone should Pls intimate and familiarize me with the relevance of this sharia law so I can be able to or oppose the notion

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

Is he done smoking his weed ?

Why are they hell bent on establishing it? Is there a financial reward?

At least you have the opportunity to state one progress of Tinubu which is the establishment of sharia s all over the SW

You were crazy for MU-MU ticket & you said it was not about islamization during campaigns.

So you are half muslim like Tinubu who can't recite the first stanza of the koran but reject the tenets of MU-MU Tickets which is sharia law

So you used the MU-MU ticket to snatch & grab deceiving those that give half nuslims the permission to site the moon ?

Don't mind their rant. Shari'ah has already stood in Yorubaland and it shall continue to grow.

No one can deny us our right, not even government because it's constitutional. Being a Muslim doesn't make us lesser Yoruba and it doesn't make you (hypocrites) superior over us

We're now clamouring for Shari'ah Courts across Southwestern State. That's the watch ward now, those that can rant should continue ranting

You are a Muslim, but you don't want Sharia law. So, what kind of Muslim are you then?

Shari'ah is like to our Faith as food is to you, that's why we'll NEVER relent until we have Shari'ah Courts in every cities, town and villages across Yoruba to cater for the needs of Muslim ummah

It's part of our religion (lifestyle) and we have right to religion and association, even this Shari'ah is constitutional as it's backed by Nigeria constitution.

If we do not stop anyone from practicing their religion, no one born of woman can stop us

he knows how destructive and backward Islamic laws can be. He’s trying to avoid the inevitable.

Imagine terrorists ing forces with skull miners.
We’re seeing the decline of south west Nigeria during our lifetime
Glory be to God

If Sharia Law is not a tool of oppression and suppression against the poor and women, why are politicians in North still have two hands with all the looting (stealing) they are doing?

oluwö is mentally unstable...................just like his prophet who sleeps around with child,maid ,infidel and hookers

The credit card fraudster who bribed kingmakers with stolen funds to get his way has spoken again.
It is always a bad idea placing criminals in position of authority, let alone traditional one.
Shame on Iwo traditional council for choosing dollars over decency.

Tinubu 2027 political strategy if you know, you know.

They will use this to appease their Northern political slave master

Let this stewpid king start it from his palace
