An Islamic human rights organization, the Muslim Rights Concern on Monday warned against the reopening of mosques amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The federal government had placed a ban on places of worships in Nigeria over a month ago in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country. “We know that lockdown hurts. But so does it hurt everywhere else. We urge Muslims to exercise patience. Those who die can never be seen again. Neither can they be part of a safer and better Nigerian society when the lockdown is finally lifted. We must join hands with the rest of humanity to defeat COVID-19. No single community, group or country can fight the battle alone.
“MURIC reminds the governments and people of Borno, Gombe and Zamfara states whose population is predominantly Muslim of Allah-given fundamental right to life. This right should not be violated through any hasty yet wrongful policy decision.
