An Ibadan-based lawyer, Barrister Abiodun Amole, has declared that the recent query issued by the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, to the Chief Imam of Ogbomoso, Shiek Taliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara, is 'illegal and unconstitutional.'
An Ibadan-based lawyer, Barrister Abiodun Amole, has declared that the recent query issued by the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, to the Chief Imam of Ogbomoso, Shiek Taliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara, is “illegal and unconstitutional.”
He explained that the Soun’s actions are in violation of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion and freedom from discrimination. “The Soun’s attempt to undermine the Chief Imam’s authority and reputation is not only illegal, but also represents a troubling trend towards religious intolerance and discrimination.”“Viewed strictly from the legal perspective, the issuance of a query by the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye to the Chief Imam of the predominantly Muslim town for traveling to Saudi Arabia to perform the hajj without informing the monarch is clearly illegal and of no moment.
“Notwithstanding the alleged undertaking he made, the cleric cannot be deprived of his constitutional right to freedom of movement.”
