The Thiantacoune leader died on Tuesday in Paris, France after a long illness.
Thioune’s death came one day after a court in Senegal sentenced him in absentia to 10 years of hard labour for abetting the murder of two followers.
The high criminal court in Mbour on Monday found him guilty of failing to denounce a crime and being an accomplice to murder seven years ago.
The 81-year-old will be buried Madinnatul Salam on Friday May 10.
