Early life

Education
As a youth Dahiru Bauchi studied the Holy Qur’an under the tutelage of his father Alhaji Usman. Eventually he learned to recite the entire Qur’an from memory as could his father. He studied under scholars like Shaykh Tijani Usman Zangon-Bare-bari, Shaykh Abubakar Atiku and Shaykh Abdulqadir Zaria He received the Tijjaniyyah Tariqah. His father was a Tijani muqaddam (Imam), who was granted authorization (ijāzah) for tariqa. Dahiru Bauchi is deputy chair of the Fatwa Committee of the Supreme Council Of Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) in Nigeria. He is 95 years old but still healthy as a youth [3]
Criticism
Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi was detained in 2009 in Saudi Arabia by Saudi security forces while performing his pilgrimage in Mecca. The cause of the arrest was the ongoing doctrinal dispute between three major Nigerian Islamic groups, Darika, Izala, and Shi'ah, that broke out during Ramadan of that year.[4]
Shi'a killings
Usman is not blamed in the 2015 Zaria massacre on Nigerian authorities.[5]
Personal life
