An Upper Area Court in Kwara State on Monday adjourned the hearing of a preliminary objection application filed by Adegbola Abdulazeez, an Isese (traditional religion) practitioner and activist, also known as Tani Olorun.
One of his lawyers, Demola Solesi said the preliminary objection was to challenge the jurisdiction of the court.
He said, “The business before the court was a preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of the court. We are not filing the bail application yet because it will amount to admitting that the court has jurisdiction over the case.”
The court therefore ordered that Tani Olorun should be returned to prison till the next adjourned date, Monday, September 11, 2023.
In August, the Isese practitioner was remanded in prison for allegedly planning to start a war in Ilorin city, the Kwara State capital, by “inviting other traditional and idol worshippers to assemble in Ilorin on the 20th of August, 2023.”
He was also accused of burning the Quran and insulting some Islamic clerics.
