The Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Ayodele Sonubi has brokered peace between the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye and the embattled Chief Imam of the town, Sheikh Taliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara.
The meeting which was still ongoing as of the time of filing this report was summoned to calm the frayed nerves of the two sides.
According to a source at the meeting, the “two parties bore their minds and the meeting was quite revealing and the outcome fruitful. Oba Ghandi had started taking the Imam as a son when some aggrieved Muslim leaders started poisoning the Kabiyesi’s mind against imam.” “Many things were known for the first time by the duo of monarch and the Imam today that were shockingly untrue. At last the two parties are ready to embrace peace.
“Honestly, if you listened to the Kabiyesi, he wasn’t interested in removing Imam. The Muslim leaders may meet with the Kabiyesi very soon and normalcy will be restored. There is no point mentioning or showing faces of those behind the removal of Imam.
