Sheikh Ali Muniru remains Volta regional Imam, says National chief Imam

The National Chief Imam, His Eminence Sheikh Dr Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, has firmly declared Sheikh Ali Muniru as the legitimate Volta Regional Imam and denounced the violent clash at the Ho Central Mosque last Friday as “contrary to Islamic teachings.”

In a statement issued on Monday, December 29, the Chief Imam asserted that the leadership question, which sparked the December 26 shooting incident, had already been settled through extensive consultation.

“The selection of Shaikh Muniru was not imposed on the community but was the outcome of extensive consultation and mediation, making the continued dispute both unnecessary and unacceptable,” the statement, signed by his Personal Assistant Dr. Abubakar Mohammed Marzuq Azindoo, read.
