He was a former Missioner of the Ansar-u-Deen Islamic Society in Kano State and was widely respected for his contributions to the faith. He is set to be buried in Ibadan later today.
The news of his death was shared by fellow clerics, including Alfa Aribidesi of At-Tawdeeh Islamic Da’wah, and tributes poured in from admirers such as Alhaji Basit Olarenwaju (Aponle Anobi).
