"I Did not know Burning Qur'an is offense" Tani Olohun begs Muslims

By


A popular traditionalist, Abdulazeez Adegbola, a.k.a Tani Olohun, has pleaded with the Muslim community to forgive him for allegedly burning the Qur'an and defaming some Muslims in Kwara State.


Tani Olorun made this plea while addressing the court after he was granted bail on Thursday, Nov. 16.


The cases against Tani Olorun heard on Thursday were instituted by Sheikh Labeeb Lagbaji and Modrasat Muhammed led by Professor Abubakar Aliagan before Magistrate Adam for allegedly burning the Quran among other offences.


Adressing the court, Tani Olorun, an Isese adherent, pleaded with "Alfa Labeeb", one of the applicants, and the "Muslims" for his actions.


He said, "I don't know that burning the Qur'an is an offense, and when I was told, I immediately pulled down the video of the incident from my social media handle in less than a minute.

"I beg all my prosecutors and the Muslims all over to forgive me, and I promised I would not repeat such an act again of posting negative videos on social media handles."


Earlier, the court presided over by Magistrate A.S Adam, where Tani Olohun is standing trial for two separate cases granted him bail in the sum of N2 million and three sureties in the same sum.


Two of the sureties must own landed property within the court's jurisdiction or in Oyo State, the court ruled.

The matter was adjourned to January 9, 2024.

The complainant's counsel, Taofeeq Olateju and Y.Y Ajibade, did not oppose the bail application moved by Tani Olohun's counsel, Barrister Ademola Banks.


With the latest development, Tani Olohun has finally gotten bail from the four different cases and three courts where he's standing trial for the alleged offense of defamation and burning of the Qur'an in Ilorin.


He was first arraigned before Magistrate Muhammed Ibrahim for allegedly insulting Ilorin elders, a case brought against him by the Association of Proud Sons and Daughters of Ilorin (Ogo Ilorin) and later at the Upper Area Court through a direct complaint by the counsel of one Alfa Okutagidi.

GROW ABOVE OFFENCES

 GROW ABOVE OFFENCES. Maintain relationships with people It is childish and immature to pick offence at every provocation or perceived wrong and then start keeping grudges as a result. Grow above it. Someone did not invite you for their celebration (s), you pick offence with them. Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offence with the person They didn't like your facebook post, you pick offence.  They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offence with them. They are junior and they have the audacity to talk or oppose your opinion. You pick offence with them.  They said NO to your request, you pick offence and malice starts. You asked them for money, they said they didn't have it, you pick offence with them. You are even keeping a record of people who came around when you were grieved, so you can know who to pick offence with.   See!!!  Everyone has battles you are not aware of.  Those who you need help from are ...

INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP, THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON',AWODELE HABEEB,A CONCERNED INDIGENE OF IFON WRITES ON THE ONGOING CRISIS BETWEEN IFON AND HER NEIGHBOURING TOWN.

 INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP: THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON. To all the indigenous sons and daughters of our beloved Ifọn, I will like to swiftly divert our attention to this particular opinion. After my scrupulous observations, I discovered that one of the major factors, which affected our Land (Ifon) during this time of war,is the lack of proper coordination among our so-called leaders. This opinion might look presumptuous or obnoxious to some people however, to say the fact, it is quite apparent, that the internal porousness,discriminations,disloyalty and more among our leaders, immensely contributed to our set-back in this situation. A lizard cannot penetrate, unless there is a crack on the wall.  This matter on ground,is not all about shouting the Ilobu only, we also need some corrections in our internal structure! Before, Ifon used to be a strong town, that no neighboring town can easily penetrate during time of w...

A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership

 A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership. The recent decision taken by Gov Ademola Adeleke in Osun State mark a significant departure from the past, signaling a promising era of progress and prosperity for its citizens. Gone are the days of empty promises and neglect, as Governor Adeleke has ushered in a new paradigm of governance characterized by tangible actions and genuine concern for the welfare of the people. Under the previous administration of APC, Osun State grappled with numerous challenges, including the dismal state of its civil service. Civil servants endured the frustration of paper promotion letters without the necessary financial backing, a practice emblematic of the neglect and disregard they faced. The era of half salaries, understaffing, and poor workers' welfare cast a shadow over the state, leaving its workforce demoralized and disenchanted. However, Governor Adeleke's commitment to revitalizing Osun State has brou...

Full Text Of Prostrate Health.

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...

I Think An Injection Led To My Son's Death - Mohbad's Father.

By

The father of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad has spoken about the death of his son. In a video interview that went viral on Saturday, Joseph Aloba narrated, "I think the injection led to his death. I don't know the people that took him the hospital, but according to what I heard, he was vomiting after recieving the injection and that was when they decided to take him to the hospital.  "I did not hear anything from the doctor because I was not there. They had returned him home when I met his body. So, I decided that they should  bring him to Ikorodu for his burial. My believe is that it's God that gives and it's God that takes. "When he and Naira had issue, I can defend that my son was properly okay because that very day, I entered his house, prayed for him and he told me that he wants to go somewhere. "On his way coming, one of his friends just came home and said that. He gave me the evidence that he was beaten up i...

NIGERIANS ABOUT TO TAKE ALL GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS .

By
Image
Guinness World Records made the biggest mistake of their existence by reminding Nigerians that they exist, and now, Nigerians are taking up the challenge to make or break those records for leisure. Someone from my state again, John Obot , is about to make (or break) the record for the longest time a person ever read aloud. He will be reading 25 novels for 145 hours. Do you even realize that we're Nigerians? The volume of books we read just to make it through Secondary and tertiary education, the average person overseas hasn't read in their lifetime. No exaggeration. GWR is not ready for what's coming. Nigerians alone will own an entire section of your website in just one year.  You're playing with people that casually endanger their lives every day just for the fun of it: We climb roofs without cables;  we board and alight from moving vehicles every day (even our kids can do this);  we remove items from the fire with our bare hands;  we sit in one spot and down 3 cra...

MY OLD SCHOOL AND MY OLD DEBTS

By
Image
1. We all must have passed through one  primary or secondary schools at a time in life. The assertion may not be true in other geopolitical zones, but it is very true in the South Western Nigeria. In the Southwest, a child must attain a level of education in a school, even if he/she will end up learning trade or skills; no matter how OLODO the child is. Although those we called OLODOs then are the leaders of the pack with cash, distribution of life is beyond mortal intelligent.  2. From the above it is established that anyone under the age 70 in the Southwest must have the tendency of belonging to either or both primary and secondary school associations. Either he or she chooses to attend their meeting is personal, still they belong to one old school. 3. If my ideas in paragraph 1&2 are valid, then the fact that you can be affiliated with a school has automatically made you a *Debtor.* Yes, *a debtor not by choice but by conscience. Not only by conscience, but by circumsta...

Mr. Albert. The governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Bassey Albert, has been sentenced to 42 years in prison for corruption. A Federal High Court in Uyo, on Thursday, convicted and sentenced Mr Albert who was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He has been taken to Ikot Ekpene prisons, Akwa Ibom State , to serve his prison term. Mr Albert, a serving senator representing Akwa Ibom North East District, was accused of receiving bribes of 12 cars worth N254 million from an oil marketer, Olajidee Omokore, during his (Albert’s) tenure (2010 – 2014) as commissioner for finance in Akwa Ibom State. The convicted senator was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, the ruling party in the state, before he defected months ago to the YPP, where he secured the party’s ticket for the 2023 governorship election. He was a major challenger to the PDP candidate, Umo Eno, in next year’s governorship election in Akwa Ibom State. Details later…
