Ilorin is filled with joy as Iya Osun embraces Islam shortly after her release from Mandela Prison for defaming an Islamic figure. (Watch the video for details.)

Following her recent release from prison, Madam Efunsetan Abebi Aniwura, widely known as Iya Osun, has made a surprising decision to convert to Islam.

This unexpected turn of events comes after her arrest on July 31st, which was initiated by a complaint filed by Alfa Abdulsalam Baba Tonile Okuta-Agidi and several other Muslim clerics in Kwara state.

After being granted bail a few days ago, Madam Efunsetan seized the opportunity to visit the Islamic cleric she had previously defamed. During this visit, she publicly announced her conversion to Islam, marking a significant change in her faith.

The public’s response to this decision has been diverse, with some applauding her conversion to Islam while others find it unexpected.

Here are some reactions:

  • “Alhamdulillah… I’m very happy for this woman. May Allah forgive her.”
  • “ALHAMDULILAH ROBILIALAHMIN.”
  • “Alhamdulillah, adupe fun baba was okutagidi ati baba wa maolana sheikh solih sebitimoh. May Almighty Allah increase you in wisdom.”
  • “Gbogbo ile Okutagidi oni di ahoro, Ola Anabi.”
  • “Honestly, I’m crying here also… I am sincerely happy 😊😊😊😊.”

It’s worth noting that Madam Efunsetan Abebi Aniwura, also known as Iya Osun, was previously released from a correctional facility in Ilorin, Kwara State. This update was shared by SaharaReporters’ publisher and politician, Omoyele Sowore, through a statement on his Facebook page.
