In a statement issued on behalf of his family and the Obidient movement, Obi praised the late Sheikh Bello for his remarkable life and enduring legacy. He described the deceased as a distinguished Islamic scholar, educator, and community leader whose tireless dedication to knowledge, spiritual growth, and humanitarian service left a profound impact on many lives.
“Sheikh Muyideen Bello lived a remarkable life, leaving behind an enduring legacy. His profound Islamic knowledge and teachings have positively impacted the lives of many. He was not only a scholar with a deep understanding of Islam but also a man who exemplified its teachings through his commitment to love, peace, and unity,” Obi stated.
Obi extended his sympathies to the Muslim community, acknowledging the loss of a revered figure whose contributions to the propagation of Islamic values and community development will not be forgotten.
He prayed for Almighty Allah to forgive Sheikh Bello’s sins, grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and provide comfort and strength to his family and the Muslim community during this period of grief.
