Chairman, Kwara state council of chiefs, who is also the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, in conjunction with the Council of Ulama in Ilorin Emirate, Kwara state has urged Muslims to observe Eid-el-Fitr prayer at their various homes.
The highest decision making council of religious leaders in the state with the Emir, gave the directive in a statement signed by its vice chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abdulhameed, who is also the Imam Imale of Ilorin.
The statement said that the directive became necessary because of the need to observe COVID-19 safety measures by the Muslim faithful during the Eid-el- Fitr prayers.
The council urged Muslims across the 16 local government areas of the state to make the sacrifice to forestall possible spread of COVID-19 disease.
“The directive of the state government concerning keeping social distance among others at this time of COVID-19 aimed at protecting lives and public safety must be complied with by the worshippers,” it said.
