This is contained in a statement issud by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye, on Saturday in Ilorin.
“We received with shock and sadness the deaths of the popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Aboto, and a few others whose identities are not yet known.
”As faithfuls, we accept the judgment of our creator, we beseech Him to grant the scholar and others involved al-jannah Firdaus,
“This, indeed, is one sad news too many. The death of Sheikh Abdulganiy Aboto is a huge loss for the Muslim community and to Ilorin as a whole.
”He was known for his vast knowledge and great efforts in the propagation of Islamic message in the simplest form possible for his audience.
