He, therefore, condoled with members of the Igbomina Traditional Council and the Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers on the death of one of their prominent members.

While praying for peaceful repose of the soul of the late monarch, Prof. Abdulkareem beseeched Allah to forgive him and make Aljannah Firdaos his final abode.
