LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – The Kwara State Police has declared a man, identified as Salam Ayodeji, wanted for allegedly threatening Isese (traditional) practitioners in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The declaration was made by the State Commissioner of Police, Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi, in a meeting with Ayodeji’s family, on Monday.
Punch had earlier reported that on 27 August, Ayodeji stormed the shop of a female Isese adherent in Ilorin, to not only bully her but also threaten to wreak havoc should she not leave town in eight days.
He said in Yoruba, “Do women sell electronics?” Ayodeji asked, to which his cohorts responded, “We have never heard of such.”

The cleric continued 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 police commissioner.
The CP asked the family to produce the suspect latest Wednesday for the alleged offence of terrorism and defamation against the Police.
Adelesi also chastised the family for “the poor training of their son”.
“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.”
Ayodeji responding to the Police commissioner said they had 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 had asked for his forgiveness and he had given it.
