Tinubu urge to investigate El-Rufai over midnight raid on Sheikh Bauchi’s Kaduna residence

*Say’s many Quranic pupils still missing -MOBA

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna 

Group under the guise of the Association of Disciples of a Renown Islamic Scholar Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi known as Markaz Old Boys Association (MOBA) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to investigate Mallam Nasir Elrufa’I over the attack on the residence of respected scholar Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi where 160 Qur’anic pupils were evacuated to unknown destination.

The association also appealed to the current Governor of Kaduna State Senator Uba Sani and Human Right Association to investigate the former Kaduna State governor over the attack, saying it amounted to abuse of his power and violation of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The appeal was contained in a statement at the end of MOBA’s National Executive Council meeting signed by Mallam Ahmad Tijjani Muhammad, Assistant secretary.

It will be recalled that during El-rufai administration, security personnel under the Kaduna State Task Force on Implementation of Anti-begging law, had stormed the Quranic School owned by the famous Islamic scholar and leader of Tijjaniya Sufi order, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.

The task force in a commando-style raid on Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi’s residence in Kaduna evacuated 160 qur’anic pupils at the Tsangaya School belonging to renowned Islamic scholar

According to reports the raiders were officials of the Kaduna State Government under the instruction of Nasir El-Rufai who had stormed the school a little past midnight while the children were sleeping.

The pupils were loaded in vehicles and escorted by security agents to the Hajj Camp along Mando Road.

The midnight raid generated an uproar, especially because of the status of Shiekh Dahiru Bauchi.

Since then the Directorate of education of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi Foundation made several efforts to recover the children many are still unaccounted for.

The association described the raid as injustice, unwarranted and an abuse of the fundamental rights of the Scholar, his disciple’s right to live anywhere in the country.

“Invading the house of a renowned Islamic cleric, peace lover and Qur’anic legend at 12 midnight, firing teargas on peaceful and sleeping students and his family is highly unwarranted and unjustifiable and a clear abuse of their fundamental human rights,” the statement said

“Even if Sheikh didn’t say anything he deserved apology from the then Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir Elrufai:

“Sheikh is a spiritual leader that always prays for peace and stability in Kaduna State and Nigeria. He is the person government at all levels consult as elder and scholar of high repute on how to bring everlasting solution to the present security challenges in the country.

“We want President Bola Ahmed Tinibu, Governor Uba Sani, all human rights organizations to investigate the injustices done to the Islamic Scholar Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi family and disciples.

“We want the Government to bar Elrufa’i from holding any Position for ever for his lack of respect to human being and declare him a tyrant ruler who has no respect for the fundamental human right”

“We want the Present Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani to do his best and right the wrong doings and human right abused by Elrufa’i to Maulana Sheikh Dahiru as a mark of respect to the over 100-year journey of propagating Islamic knowledge and preaching for peace and stability in Kaduna State and the country at large”, it stated.
