A body, Dr Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Students’ Forum, has drawn the attention of relevant security agencies in Kaduna state and Sultan Bello Mosque Management Board to the purported appointment of Dr. Jamilu Muhammad Sadis to deputize Sheikh Dr Ahmad Abubakar Gumi in presentations of Tafsir at Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna.
A statement issued by its President, Saleh Buhari Bello, said, “It has come to the knowledge of this Forum of a certain write up on social media by some unscrupulous elements that one, Dr. Jamilu Muhammad Sadis, who is not, in anyway, a student of Sheikh Abubakar Mahmud Gumi or Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, has been appointed to DEPUTIZE Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Gumi in presentations of Tafsir and other religious teachings that he has been conducting at Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna.”
“This is totally unfounded and was fabricated by some undesirable elements, who have no link, whatsoever with the mosque and teachings of Late Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, with a view to inciting people and causing chaos in the Mosque which has been enjoying peace and tranquility for a very long time now.”
The forum therefore called on the students of Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, worldwide, who have been hurt and troubled by the unfounded and fabricated social media lies to remain calm and disregard the false information.
It described the information as malicious, injurious and calculative attempt to destabilize the existing peace and harmony being enjoyed in the great institution, the School of Late Sheikh Abubakar Mahmoud Gumi (R).
“We call on the relevant security agencies in the state and Sultan Bello Mosque Management Board to, as a matter of urgency, take decisive measures against these metaphysical elements, who are all out to cause crisis in the Mosque in order to truncate this evil attempt by these elements to bring about abyssal catastrophic disorder in this peaceful historical great mosque,” the statement explained.
