Afonta’s Remains Interred After Islamic Rites

The remains of Sheik Abdulwahab Banni Afonta has been interred.

He was buried at 10:12am at his house around Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo, Osun State.

Earlier, Islamic rites also known as Solat Aljanaza were concluded on the remains of the late Islamic scholar.

The prayer was led by the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Sheik (Dr) Muhammad Bashir Saliu Al-Fulani OON, and the Chief Imam of Osogbo, Sheik Musa Animasahun.

The Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Chief Olatunde Badmus, was part of the prayer held amidst an uncontrollable crowd at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park.

Security and relatives are currently finding it difficult to control mourners who had since yesterday thronged the deceased’s residence.
