Family speaks on death rumours of Sheikh Dairu Bauchi
Amidst dead rumour the family of the renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Usman-Bauchi, has dismissed the reports.
The Sheikh, who is one of the leaders of the Sufism, Tijjaniyya Movement in Nigeria, was reported dead in the early hours of Wednesday.
While reacting, Alhaji Sanusi Dahiru, a family member of the cleric, said that “the 97-year-old scholar is hale and hearty.
“We spoke with him and he is very fine in Abuja this morning.
“Sheikh Dahiru-Bauchi will leave Abuja for Kaduna tomorrow (Thursday) for the annual Qur’an Tafsir closing ceremony, where his son, Dr Sulumbai Dahiru, represented him.
“So, people and admirers should disregard the rumours that Sheikh Dahiru Usman-Bauchi is dead.
“He is still alive with good health despite old age”, and urged the Muslim faithful to pray for the good health of the cleric.
