A renowned Islamic Scholar Sheikh Dahiru Usman has disowned a letter going round on the social media over Kano State gubernatorial tussle.
The purported letter was addressed to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), titled “Request for Prompt Intervention of Justice’
Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi said ‘he is not the one who wrote the purported letter, and it didnt emanate from him.
The Vice Chairman of Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi Foundation Sayyadi Tijjani Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi also dismissed the letter.
He said “Our attention was drawn to the purported letter sent to the Chief Justice of Nigeria. People from all walks of life are calling to verify and to confirm the authenticity and the thruth about the letter,
“The thruth of matter is that the letter did not emanate from Maulana Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi. The letterhead is not the type used by Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.
“The writers forged Sheikh Dahiru Foundation’s letter head and the Sheikh is not a signatory in foundation letter head, and today Sheikh is not signing any letter, but he used a special seal and stamp in all the letters that emanate from him”
Sayyadi Tijjani urged people and relevant authorities to disregard the letter and to understand that the letter is not from Maulana Sheikh in order.
