In recent days, rumours circulating on social media have falsely claimed that Sheikh Siliman Kasule Ndirangwa, the former Supreme Mufti of Uganda’s Kibuli-based Muslim faction, has passed away.
These baseless allegations have caused unnecessary confusion and distress among the Muslim community and the general public.
The DisMis FakeNews Desk has verified these claims and confirms they are false and misleading. Sheikh Siliman Kasule Ndirangwa is alive and well.
In an audio statement addressing the rumors, Sheikh Ndirangwa expressed disappointment over the false reports. "I am alive and well.
These rumors are completely baseless and unfounded," he said, urging the public to refrain from spreading misinformation that may cause unnecessary panic or alarm.
Sheikh Ndirangwa resigned from his position as Supreme Mufti in April 2021, citing internal disagreements within the Kibuli Muslim faction.
Since his resignation, he has largely kept a low profile, focusing on personal and community matters. His successor, Sheikh Muhammad Galabuzi, was appointed in November 2021.
The rumours of Sheikh Siliman Kasule Ndirangwa's death are completely false. He has personally denied the claims and confirmed that he is in good health.
The public is strongly encouraged to disregard these rumours and verify all information through trusted sources before sharing it online.
