Sad! Galadima Is Dead
The Chief Imam of Ebiraland, Alhaji Musa Galadima, has been reportedly dead. He died in the early hours of Friday at the age of 98 years.
Galadima who was turbaned about 55 years ago, died in a private hospital in Abuja. He would be buried on Friday at Okene, according to Islamic rites.
The state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, while mourning his death described him as a humble, gentle and serious Islamic teacher whose tutelage extended beyond Nigeria.
He urged other Islamic clerics to emulate the life led by the deceased.
“The late Chief Imam was a god fearing, honest, disciplined, and the constituent authority, especially the traditional institution,” said Mr Mohammed Onogwu.
Bello condoled with the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Alhaji Ado Ibrahim, the deceased wives, children, relatives, friends, followers and the entire Muslim community over the late Chief Imam.
He prayed to Allah for his shortcomings and make Aljannat Firdaus his final abode.
