The Chief Imam of Ogbomoso, Sheik Teliat Yinus Ayilara, in a strong-worded response to the query issued by the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, has rejected the monarch’s authority to query him, arguing that the position of Chief Imam is not a traditional title that falls under the authority of the traditional ruler.
But, the Chief Imam, in his swift reaction, noted that he responded to the letters issued by the traditional ruler out of deep respect he has for Yoruba culture and tradition. “My case against your majesty is still in court. And I strongly believe that when a matter is in court, the parties in the case must respect the authority of the court by abstaining from anything that may affect the case in court.”
