Buhari condoles Sheikh Sharif over son’s death

President Muhammadu Buhari has joined the family of Sheikh Ibrahim Ibn Saleh al-Hussaini, also known as Shaykh Sharif Saleh, the government and people of Borno State in mourning the demise of Alhaji Musa Alkasim, the Sheikh’s oldest son.

The president, in a message to Sheikh Ibrahim, the chairman of the Fatwa Committee of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, said he was “deeply saddened to learn about the demise of your reliable and trustworthy son, Musa.

“With his passing away, a promising career in business and academia has come to an end.”

Buhari, in a statement yesterday by his media aide, Garba Shehu, described the late 59-year-old Musa as a kind and enterprising young man who would sorely be missed.
