Leave or I'll pelt you with stones - Ilorin cleric attacks Osun priestess, worshippers - Punch Newspapers

“You dare not drop the calabashes,” the cleric screamed at the convoy.

‘Everything you are saying is cheap talk. I am an Indigene just like you,” one of the women in the Osun priestess’ group fired back at the cleric who made it a point to also mention that Ilorin does not tolerate traditional religious practices. The two exchanged heated words for a while before the cleric began to charge toward the priestess and her girls, chanting a Muslim prayer as he marched on.

“Come out here because this is Ilorin and such is not allowed. Is this Osun? Leave! Leave! Leave now! Do you not hear me, leave or I’ll pelt you with stones.”This won’t be the first such occurrence in Ilorin. A few weeks ago, The PUNCH reported the story of Yeye Ajesikemi Olokun Omolara, who was also threatened by a Muslim group, Majlisu Shabab li Ulamahu Society, in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, in a bid to cancel a planned Isese festival in the state.All rights reserved.
