Shut Up, Dragging SOUN-OGBOMOSO Into your  Religion controversy is insultive, Media Hub Warns Iwo Born Grand-Mufti. The recent derogatory, provocative and violence inciting remarks made by One Sheikh Daood Imran Molaasan on his Facebook page, Qudus TV has come to our attention, the said man from Iwo town has disrespected and insulted the highly revered Soun of Ogbomosoland, labeling the our new monarch as an unbeliever and even going as far as calling him pagan. "Keferi". As proud sons and daughters of Ogbomoso, we stand united across different religions, both within our homeland and in the diaspora, to condemn such disrespectful behavior.
