Accra – The Vice President, Dr Mahmudu Bawumia has described as a “shock”, the death of the cleric, Shaykh Ali Ahmed Maikano Kalamu.

In a Facebook post, Dr Bawumia described the son of Shaykh Abdulaihi Maikano as a man of peace who worked for the unity of the Muslim community in Ghana.

He offered his condolence to the Maikano family and the Jallo fraternity of the Tijanniya sect in the country.

“May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus and unite him with his father, Shaykh Abdullahi Maikano and all departed souls” he said.

News on the death of the younger brother of Khalifa Abulfaid Ahmad Abdulai Maikano Jallo, leader of the Jallo fraternity broke on Wednesday dawn when he was said to be heading to Number One for medical attention.

The body of Ali Ahmed who is also known as Kalamul Faida Jallo was found at around 1.30 am.

The scholar, a resident of Pantang in Accra, had moved to be with family for tilawat (quranic recitation) and had opted to spend some days in his hometown of Prang as he was not feeling well.

Contrary to media reports of the cleric being shot in a robbery operation, sources close to the family disclosed that the cleric was trailed and shot by assailants when he left his family residence at around 10 pm to seek medical treatment at Number One.

A manhunt has been since mounted by the police to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime.

Ali Ahmed who is described by many as a peacemaker, a unifier and a mediator will be buried after Asr (Late afternoon) prayer at his hometown.
