World Leader of Tijjaniyya Sect, Sheikh Muhammad Mahi Niasse, has strongly denied a purported letter in circulation claiming he appealed to the reinstated Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II to step down and follow his grandfather’s footsteps.
In a counter letter written in Arabic and translated to Hausa, signed by the Commissioner of Religious Matters of Kano State and who also doubled as the Nigeria spokesperson of the Global Tijjaniyya Leader, Sani Auwalu Ahmad Tijjani, said the purported letter asking Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II to step down is a forged document that did not emanate from their leader.
“In fact, the purported letter has touched on the integrity of our leader who sees Muhammadu Sanusi II as his disciple in Nigeria, and a Person of humble background with sound religious character.
“We have given those behind the purported letter to within 24 hours show themselves and explain from where it’s emanated and to whom it was sent otherwise we will not hesitate in taking legal actions against them,” Sani said.
He said already Security have been detailed on the matter and anybody who is behind it will soon face the full wrath of the laws, “because we ask him to be arrested and prosecuted duly”.
The spokesperson of the Global Tijjaniyya Leader said they will not allow the continued destruction of the names of their religious leader and always linking him to things that he had never for once written.
“This is the second time this kind of letter has been forged against our Global Tijjaniyya leader.
“The same thing was done during the previous administration of Umar Ganduje, but this time around anybody who is behind it will have himself to blame,” he said.
