All five have been disqualified for 10 years as a result of the inquiry into the Ripple Road Mosque, also known as Essex Islamic Academy.
Islamic State fanatic Umar Ahmed Haque, from Forest Gate was found guilty of terrorism offences in March 2018 and jailed for life with a minimum term of 25 years after grooming children as young as 11 at the mosque.
