The Ilorin Emirate Council has announced the schedule for the Fidāu prayer in honour of the late Chief Imam of Ilorin, Sheikh (Dr.) Muhammad Bashir Imam Saliu Al-Fulani, OON.

According to the announcement, the Fidāu prayer will be held on Sunday, 25th January 2026, at 10:00 a.m., at the Ilorin Central Mosque, Emir’s Palace Square, Ilorin.
