I Did Not Know That It Is An Offence To Burn Quran – Popular Traditionalist, Tani Olohun

A popular traditionalist, Abdulazeez Adegbola, a.k.a Tani Olohun, has pleaded with Muslims to forgive him for burning the Qur’an and defaming some Muslims in Kwara State.

Tani Olorun begged for forgiveness while addressing the court after he was granted bail on Thursday, Nov. 16.

Naija News reports that the traditionalist was dragged to court by Sheikh Labeeb Lagbaji and Modrasat Muhammed led by Professor Abubakar Aliagan for allegedly burning the Quran among other offences.

Addressing the court, Tani Olorun, an Isese adherent, pleaded with “Alfa Labeeb”, one of the applicants, and the “Muslims” for his actions.

He said, “I don’t know that burning the Qur’an is an offense, and when I was told, I immediately pulled down the video of the incident from my social media handle in less than a minute.

“I beg all my prosecutors and the Muslims all over to forgive me, and I promised I would not repeat such an act again of posting negative videos on social media handles.”

Earlier, the court presided over by Magistrate A.S Adam, where Tani Olohun is standing trial for two separate cases granted him bail in the sum of N2 million and three sureties in the same sum.

Two of the sureties must own landed property within the court’s jurisdiction or in Oyo State, the court ruled.

The matter was adjourned to January 9, 2024.
