He said since there were testimonies that the victim died as a muslim there is need to perform funeral prayer for him inspite the non availability of the corpse.

The Coordinator of llorin Muslims cementary and a Lecturer of lslamic studies at the University of llorin. Dr Abubakar Aliagan said the prayer was necessary since the deceased died as a Muslim.

He said effort to exhume the corpse of the late Salami through a court injunction proved abortive as nobody was able to identify his grave at Okeose Christian cementary

"We had performed the funeral prayer without the corpse being exhumed which is purely allowed under lslamic law " he said.

"The llorin Muslim community took the second option of performing funeral prayer in abstential for our late brother following the claims of guides not to identify the grave of Salami " Aliagan added
