Preaching
Gombe delivers an annual Ramadan tafsir and preaches across Nigeria, neighbouring countries and the United Kingdom, with sermons often addressing family and women's affairs 1. He is a prominent critic of what Salafism counts as innovation, with a strong stance against Sufism — notably the Tijaniyya — and against Shi'ism; the article names Malik ibn Anas and Abubakar Gumi among his influences 1. The sources used differ on his birth year: the English infobox and Wikidata give 1 June 1969, the Hausa article gives no date at all, and this lane's queue had said 1968; the data record keeps 1969 with the weakness stated 1 2.
Affiliation, as the sources attest it
The English article's text places the man inside the Izala movement and calls the society "the largest Salafiyyah movement in Nigeria" — a movement affiliation, not the naming of a school. A school appears only inside one structured family: the uncited infobox gives his denomination as Sunni and his jurisprudence as Maliki, and Wikidata records Islam only 1 2. The museum's data record therefore leaves his school unknown, flagged for the founder, with the Maliki infobox reading preserved in the record's note.
