Members of the Muslim community in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Friday, 31 March, 2023 have staged a protest following the alleged invasion of a mosque in the Ilare area by some Oro worshippers.

During the Friday protest, the protesters, who moved through major streets in the town, visited the palace of the Ooni of Ife, but the royal father was not available.

According to the protesters, the traditionalists entered the mosque on Thursday, 29 March, 2023, where some Muslims had gathered to observe the 4pm prayers, and attacked those they found in the building.

Beside the Chief Imam of the mosque, Abdul-Lateef Adediran, who was reportedly injured in the face, five other worshippers were allegedly stabbed during the attack.

An eyewitness, who identified himself as Kareem, said, “We were in the mosque to pray. Some people were performing ablution when the Oro worshippers entered the mosque.

“We were aware that they would be going around with Oro and we didn’t meddle in their affairs. They had passed through the area. They later returned and entered the mosque.

“The Imam was trying to ask what their mission was, but they didn’t even allow him to talk before they started beating every one of us. Six people were stabbed. Our imam sustained injuries on his face. All those injured were taken to hospitals in Ile-Ife.”
