Islamic cleric, Sheikh Aboto and aides, drawn in Kwara flood
A popular Islamic cleric in Kwara State, Sheikh Abdulganiyu Nuraini, aka Alfa Gani Aboto, is dead.
The cleric and two of his aides, Alfa Azeez Omoekun and Alfa Nurudeen, were killed in flood waters on Saturday, October 1, 2022.
It was gathered that they were coming from da’awah activity in Minna, Niger State, when the flood swept away his Toyota Yaris car while trying to cross a bridge near Harmony Estate/Kukende at the Akerebiata area of Ilorin.
The car and their bodies were recovered by the state fire service from a river opposite Olusola Saraki Abattoir along Sobi Army Barracks road, Ilorin.
The late sheik was a student of late Sheikh Kamaldeen Al-Adabiy, the first Mufti of Ilorin and founder of Ansarul Islam Society of Nigeria. He was also a hafeedh and leading trainer of Quran memorisers in the state.
