Historical Life and Times Of Chief Imaam Mustafaa Kasumu Ekemode (13th June, 1898 - 14th September, 1972). The first pioneer Imaam and Missioner of Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria

Late Alhaj Imaam Mustafaa Kasumu Ekemode fondly called Missioner, was from the famous Kasumu Ekemode Descendant family of Lagos Island. He was of the children of Alfa Kasumu Ekemode, the Progenitor of the Ekemode Descendants family of Lagos Island.

The Islamic pedigree, exhibited in Ekemode's clan, has its foundation in the history of its progenitor Alfa Kasumu Ekemode around Idita, Lagos in 1841.

Alfa Kasumu Ekemode became an illustrious Arabic Scholar, a Quranic Teacher, and for many years, the Olori Tafsiir (Head Preacher) of the then Lagos Central Mosque, Lagos Island, Lagos State.
