Prominent Islamic cleric and Chief Imam of Dutsen Tanshi Jumaat Mosque, Dr. Idris Abdulaziz, has passed away after a lengthy battle with an undisclosed illness.

He died on Thursday night, leaving the Bauchi community and beyond in mourning over the loss of a respected religious leader.

Funeral prayers for Dr. Abdulaziz will be held in Bauchi at 10:00 a.m. on Friday.
