The Ogun State chapter of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned what it described as unwarranted criticisms of the Islamic burial rites conducted for the late Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Kayode Adetona.
In a statement issued on Friday and jointly signed by the State Chairman, Alhaji Tajudeen Jimoh Alao, and Secretary, Alhaji Olaleye Rasheed Damilare, MURIC said the objections raised by some traditionalists and religious groups were not only baseless but could incite unnecessary religious tension in the state.
