Title: The Roles of Sheikhs and Imams in the Promotion of Islam in Edeland
Authors: Akinjobi, Tosin
Issue Date: 2012
Abstract: This chapter specifically examines the Imamate question in Ede since the inception of Islam in the town. Although it is evident that Ile Imole has produced an overwhelming number of Chief Imams for Edeland, other Muslim compounds with autochthonous claim to the Imamate have also emerged as Chief Imams as evidenced in the appointment of Chief Imams from Talafia, Akaje, Jagun Alaro and Lakonu compounds. This chapter is thus divided into two sections. The first section examines the contributions of Ile Imole to the leadership of the Muslim community in Ede while the second section examines the contributions of other autochthonous Muslim families to the growth of Islam in Ede
