Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has mourned the death of Sheikh Ali Ahmed Maikano AbulFaili Jallow, son of late Ghanaian Tijaniyya Cleric, Ahmed Maikano Jallow of Prang.
Sheikh Ali Ahmed Maikano AbulFaili Jallow is reported to have been killed by armed robbers on the Abromase road.
He was said to be heading to Abromase for a Maulid event that he had been invited for as a Special Guest.
The robbers are alleged to have blocked the road and opened fire on travelers, killing him in the process.
“I received with shock the news of the death of Shaykh Ali Ahmed Maikano Kalamu this morning,” Dr Bawumia wrote on his official Facebook page.
“The learned Shayhk was a man of peace who worked for the unity of the Muslim community in Ghana,” he said.
“I offer my condolences to the Maikano family and the Jallo fraternity.”
“May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus and unite him with his father, Shaykh Abdulaihi Maikano and all departed souls,” he wrote.
