"When Late Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi was asked about the thing he will never forget in his life his response was devastatingly emotional and heartbreaking. He recalled the moment security personnel stormed his Kaduna residence brutally assaulted some of his students took many of them away and even destroyed the Tawadathe traditional ink used for writing the Quran. And this happened under Elrufais stewardship for someone as revered and as spiritual connected as Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi to have died with this weight of grievance because of your poor policy then embrace yourself for litany of unflattering"
