COVID-19: Borno Faults Imams For Leading Prayers

The Borno State Response Team has frowned at three Imams who in violation of the lockdown, held congregational Friday prayers which exposed worshippers to risks of spreading Covid-19.

Borno State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture, who is member of the State’s High Powered Response Team, Babakura Abba Jatau said during the briefing, that three Islamic Scholars (names withheld) who violated have been reported to Shehu of Borno and the Chief Imam preparatory to other punitive measures to be adopted.

”It is disheartening to tell you that three Islamic Scholars (names withheld) today violated the total lockdown rules by conducting Juma’at prayers in their respective mosques in the metropolis.

“The violators have been fished out and would definitely face the full wrath of the law,” he said.
