The chairman, Muslim Community of Oyo state, Alhaji Kunle Sanni, has said the state League of Imams and Alfas is set to set up a disciplinary committee to sanction erring Islamic clerics or Mallams (teacher).

He dropped the hint in Ibadan while addressing a press conference in Ibadan on the recent arrest of three people caught with human parts.

The Muslim community chairman said henceforth, the people of Oyo state should report any Islamic cleric or Mallam (teacher) found engaging in sharp practices alien to Islam practice.

He charged the people of the state to without wasting time report erring Islamic cleric or teacher for proper investigation, saying the Muslim community will continue to follow the case until the culprits are brought to book. 

“Report them, if anyone is spending money recklessly, report them. Anyone that we want to put forward as leaders, we must check their background. We will follow the case up”, he said. 

Alhaji Sanni added, “We say we will follow the case up. We will follow it to the logical conclusion. We should be watchful of the Mallams teaching our children the knowledge of Islam.”
