Adam Tahir, the Chief Imam of Kafanchan Central Mosque in Southern Kaduna, has died at the age of 130, leaving behind 26 children, 290 grandchildren and more than 200 great-grandchildren.
Deputy Chief Imam of the Mosque, Muhammad Kassim, disclosed that Tahir died on Wednesday evening from an indisclosed illness.
According to Kassim, the late Imam would be greatly missed by Muslim faithfuls, as he was a role model to all.
Also in a condolence message, the Emir of Jema’a, Muhammad Isa Muhammad II, described the death of the Imam as a huge loss to the emirate and to the people of southern parts of Kaduna State.
Kassim thus prayed God for the repose of the deceased’s soul.
