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.

"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
