Islamic preachers tv ogun state chapter

Condolence Message
On behalf of Sheikh Muhammad Yahqub Imolesin Al-Haqeeqy and the entire members of the Yorubaland Council of Islamic Preachers (YLCIP), Ogun State Chapter, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the good people of Ijebu Ode and the entire Ijebuland on the passing of His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Kayode Adetona, GCON, the Awujale of Ijebu Ode and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland — Amīr al-Mulūk al-Muslimīn (Leader of all Muslim Kings in Yorubaland).

The revered monarch peacefully answered the call of Almighty Allah on Sunday evening and was laid to rest according to Islamic rites on Monday.

Late Oba Adetona was a devout Muslim, a true believer, and a servant of Allah whose reign exemplified courage, justice, and service to humanity. His leadership went beyond the traditional institution — he was a trailblazer in advancing sociopolitical reforms and a strong advocate for the religious rights of traditional rulers. One of his most impactful legacies was his firm stance against the forced blending of traditional religion with cultural practices. This led to his remarkable motion, which was passed by the Ogun State House of Assembly and signed into law by Governor Dapo Abiodun, ensuring that traditional rulers could be buried according to the tenets of their religious faith.

His unwavering support for Islam and the Muslim Ummah across Ijebuland and Ogun State earned him the historic appointment by the League of Imams and Alfas of Yorubaland as the first Amīr al-Mulūk al-Muslimīn in Yorubaland.

He will be fondly remembered for fostering unity across religious divides and for upholding the values of integrity, tolerance, and respect throughout his reign.

We pray that Almighty Allah accepts his return, forgives his shortcomings, and grants him Al-Jannatul Firdaus.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، أَخْرَجْتَ رُوحَهُ، وَفَرَّقْتَهُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ، فَثَقِّلْهُ عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ، وَارْحَمْهُ يَوْمَ الْوَحْشَةِ، وَارْحَمْهُ يَوْمَ الْغُرْبَةِ، وَارْحَمْهُ يَوْمَ لَا مَالٌ وَلَا وَلَدٌ، وَارْحَمْهُ يَوْمَ يُشْغَلُ كُلُّ إِمْرِئٍ بِشَأْنِهِ.

Translation:
O Allah, indeed he is Your servant and the son of Your maidservant. You have taken his soul and separated it from his body. So be kind to him during his trial. Have mercy on him on the day of loneliness, have mercy on him on the day of estrangement, have mercy on him on the day when neither wealth nor children will avail, and have mercy on him on the day when every soul will be preoccupied with its own affairs.

*PRESS RELEASE*
From the Yorubaland Council of Islamic Preachers (YLCIP) Arbitration Committee
RE: Immediate Cease of Public Commentary on Ongoing Case Involving Alhaja Kafilat Kaola and Alhaji Tawfiq Akeugbagold
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Arbitration Committee of the Yorubaland Council of Islamic Preachers (YLCIP), under the leadership of Shaykh Olohunlomerue Abdullahi (Osun State Nā’ibul Ameer of YLCIP), hereby issues this official directive regarding the ongoing sensitive matter involving Alhaja Kafilat Kaola and Alhaji Tawfiq Akeugbagold.
After a consultative emergency meeting held with the six state Ameers of the Southwest, the Committee has resolved that:
🔒 Effective immediately, both parties — Alhaja Kafilat Kaola and Alhaji Tawfiq Akeugbagold — are to refrain from making any further statements, posts, live videos, or indirect references on any media platform, especially social media, concerning the case or issues between them.
This resolution is necessitated by the ongoing confidential intervention and settlement efforts being coordinated by Southwest Islamic leaders, scholars, and stakeholders committed to restoring dignity, peace, and unity within the Muslim community.
The Council emphasizes that the continued public airing of sensitive allegations and counter-allegations harms not only personal reputations but also tarnishes the image of Da‘wah, leadership, and Islam in the eyes of the general public.
📜 This Press Directive is Endorsed by:
✅ Ameer – Lagos State
✅ Ameer – Ogun State
✅ Ameer – Oyo State
✅ Ameer – Osun State
✅ Ameer – Ondo State
✅ Ameer – Ekiti State
Note: Alhaji Tawfiq Akeugbagold, being the National Ameer of the YLCIP, is temporarily recused from the signing of this directive due to his position as one of the parties involved in the matter.
🛡️ Compliance Advisory:
We kindly urge both parties to respect the sanctity of arbitration and allow the Committee and the senior Islamic leadership of Yorubaland to handle the process with wisdom and fairness.
May Allah guide us all to that which is best, and may He purify our intentions, conceal our faults, and unite our hearts.
Signed:
Shaykh Olohunlomerue Abdullahi
Head, YLCIP Arbitration Committee
