The aare musulumi of yorubaland, Alhaji Abdulazeez Arisekola Alao is dead. Got information from his son. Its confirmed.

The cause of his death was colon cancer. The remains of the deceased businessman will be conveyed to Nigeria for burial as early as tomorrow in keeping with Muslim rites. In 1980, a group of Islamic clerics named him the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, making him one of the most notable Islamic figures in Nigeria’s southwest.

Mr. Alao, who was born in 1945, started out as a trader in his youth and grew into a businessman with investments in real estate, auto sales, news media, and flourmills. Like many Nigerian business owners.
