Foremost Ilorin historian and elder statesman, Alhaji LAK Jimoh, has responded to the controversial claims made by Dr. Sharoof Gbadebo and a group of young Ilorin indigenes during a recent public lecture in Ogbomosho. In a viral video, the group alleged that Ilorin is an “idol city” where sites like Sobi Hill and local cemeteries are worshipped.
In an exclusive interview with GrandOlori TV, Alh. LAK Jimoh debunks the allegations, describing them as a misrepresentation of Ilorin’s Islamic heritage and historical identity. He provides deep insights rooted in history and culture, defending the city’s legacy as a center of Islamic learning and scholarship.
