-Family To Set Up Foundation In His Honour
The will of the late Ibadan business mogul, Aare Abdul-Azees Arisekola-Alao, has been read. The reading of the will took place at the Chief Registrar’s Office, Room 30 of the Oyo State High Court, Ring-Road, Ibadan an Thursday afternoon.
Most of the children, who were clad in white clothes, except for three of them, males, who wore ash and brown colour, were all seated in the lawyers’ hall by 2 p.m. At about 2.32p.m., the late Arisekola-Alao’s lawyer called the children one after the other and they all filed into the Chief registrar’s office according to their age, beginning from the eldest daughter, Fatimo Aare.
They were led by Mr Oba Otudeko, the administrator of the will and four male and two female members of the family.
A woman’s name was, however, struck out of the list, but she was not present in the court.
At the commencement of the short meeting which preceded the calling of the children’s names, an official from the Chief Registrar’s office made it known to family members that members of the State Security Service (SSS) and the press were in the court premises but that he had informed them that the exercise was strictly private.
By 3.25 p. m, the reading of the will ended and the children came out one after the other into the lawyer’s hall.
Alhaji Idris Alao, one of the children of Alhaji AbdulAzeez Arisekola-Alao, has announced that a Foundation would be instituted to immortalise the late Islamic leader, in order to continue his philanthropy.
He said the Foundation would be saddled with the responsibility of carrying on the philanthropic work of his father, where individuals and groups could go for assistance.
According to him, details of the Foundation would be made known to members of the public after the mourning period of the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland and Deputy President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), who died on June 18 at the age of 69.
