The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Sa’ad Abubakar has condoled the people of Tapa in Ibarapa local government area of Oyo state over the death of Aare Musulumi of Ibarapa Land, Sanusi Ojolowo, which occurred on Wednesday, 22 September, 2021.
The Sultan, in a statement by Bashir Adefaka of the Sultan Media Team, also condoled the government of Oyo state and the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN).
According to the Sultan, Ojolowo “was generally respected and trusted in business, especially in the conduct of Hajj and Umrah services.
“The Sultan regrets that the Nigerian Muslim Ummah has lost yet another great philanthropist, who spent his life for the benefit of humanity as well as building and maintaining Mosques, while also providing succour for people across religions and tribes, especially those in Ibarapa Land.
“His sincerity and trustworthiness in the discharge of his duty as a reputable Hajj and Umrah operator from the days of Western Region and now in Oyo and Kwara states, made him the most trusted and noted by especially the Fulani in Ibarapa for the services.
“Much as we love him and want to continue to have him with us in our ongoing peace and unity project for the good of our great country. We have one thing we have been unable to achieve; stopping the decision of Allah to pass on him as his time was reached. We can only pray and we indeed pray to Allah to please help us to receive, forgive, keep his gentle soul and repose it in Al-Jannah Firdauz,” the Sultan said.
