Tinubu mourns Plateau cleric Imam Abubakar, hails courage and humanity
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Imam Abdullahi Abubakar, the Chief Imam of Nghar village in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, describing him as a courageous servant of God whose life embodied faith, humanity and uncommon bravery..
Imam Abubakar, who died at the age of 92, rose to national and international prominence in 2018 after sheltering more than 200 Christians during violent communal attacks that swept through parts of Plateau State.
In a condolence message issued on Thursday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu said the late cleric’s actions stood as a powerful testament to the sanctity of human life and the true meaning of religious devotion.
“At such a time when tribal and religious tendencies seemed to overwhelm reason, Imam Abubakar stood firmly on the side of peace, benevolence and conscience,” the President said.
According to him, the cleric’s decision to protect those under threat, despite the danger to his own life, demonstrated rare moral courage and selflessness.
