THE Kwara State Police Commissioner, Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi has declared Salam Ayodeji wanted for allegedly threatening Isese adherents (traditionalists) in Ilorin Kwara State.
Ayodeji was reported to have stormed the shop of a female Isese adherent in Ilorin, bullied her and threatened to wreak havoc should she not leave town in eight days.
Ayodeji, in the video shared on X on Sunday, was heard accosting the lady asking if women sell electronics before giving her an eight-day ultimatum to vacate the building where she transacts business.
He said in Yoruba, “Do women sell electronics?” Ayodeji asked to which his cohorts responded, “We have never heard of such.”
The cleric continued by saying, “We have told you what we want, leave the town, We do not allow Isese people in our town.”
Recall the Muslim cleric in his rant on Sunday also claimed to have the backing of the state police commissioner.
In a meeting with Ayodeji’s family, on Monday, Adelesi asked the family to produce the suspect latest Wednesday for the alleged offence of terrorism and defamation against the Police.
The police boss also berated the family for ‘the poor training of their son,‘ whose attitude is capable of causing chaos in the state.
“Is it because Tajudeen’s wife is from Osun State? Does that mean she’s a traditionalist? Or are there no Muslims in Osun State ” the enraged CP queried.
The police commissioner, who also spoke with the Alaran family, landlords to the Isese adherents, who was evicted following Ayodeji’s threats, berated them for obliging the suspect.
While responding to the police boss, Ayodeji family said they have unsuccessfully tried to locate their son, whose phone line has remained unreachable for days now.
Tajudeen, husband to the Isese lady, who was bullied and threatened by Ayodeji and his cohorts, said the suspect’s family has asked for his forgiveness and he has given it.
