The head of the Muslim sect based at Kibuli Hill in Kampala, Sheikh Silman Kasule Ndirangwa, announced on Thursday evening that he had resigned as the Supreme Mufti.
Sheikh Ndirangwa assumed the position following the abrupt death of his predecessor Sheikh Zubair Kayongo in April 2015.
Sheikh Ndirangwa was the second to assume the title of Supreme Mufti of the Kibuli faction, which in 2009 broke ranks with the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) leadership at Old Kampala amid accusations of abuse of Muslim properties.
