“We have been cohabiting for a long time without issues, and traditionalists have been in Ilorin for a long time, it’s really sad that we cannot practice our faith in peace among the Muslims, they see us as threats whereas we are peace-loving people.
“The major issue is social media. I wouldn’t be biased, both parties are to be blamed for the social media escalation of issues.
“I can not point at one thing however social media isn’t doing much good. You see Muslims insulting and degrading us and we in turn respond to their insults. These back and forth trigger many.
“Sincerely I do not know why they see us as a danger or threat to them, because honestly, I am surprised. Yoruba Muslims have always been reasonable and peaceful, the sudden hatred is a mystery. Every Yoruba has its foundation in Isese except we want to deceive ourselves,” she said
