The Chief Magistrate Court of Kwara State has adjourned the hearing of the bail application filed by Adegbola Abdulazeez, an Isese (traditional religion) practitioner and activist, also known as Talolorun. The Isese practitioner was remanded in prison last week for allegedly planning to start a war in the city by "inviting other traditional and idol worshippers to assemble in Ilorin on the 20th of August, 2023.” He was also accused of burning the Quran and insulting some Islamic clerics.
Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has said the Nigeria police arrested Adegbola Abdulazeez, a popular traditional religion practitioner and activist also known as Talolorun, with a fake warrant. According to the candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 presidential election, the police also asked the state government to allow them to prosecute Talolorun without the involvement of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
