The Federal Capital Territory Administration has urged Muslim faithful to observe the Eid-el Fitr prayers at home.
The FCTA said the call became necessary because of the statement by the Jama’atul Nasril Islam under the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, regarding the suspension of the Eid congregational prayers in towns and cities across the federation.
“This is in tandem with the guidelines issued by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 that all places of worship in the FCT and other high risk states of the Federation should remain closed during the recently extended period of lockdown. “The meeting acknowledged that the primary concern of all leaders and public officials was to save lives.
