Muslim faithful across the country on Friday joined others across the world to observe the Eid-el Kabir celebration with prayers in various mosques.
Our correspondents, who went round some popular mosques in Bauchi, Katsina, Yobe and Borno states, observed that several worshippers clustered together in their numbers to pray in violation of the COVID-19 protocols of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. In Bauchi, for example, most worshippers who gathered outside the Bauchi Central Mosque did not wear face masks, while they also freely exchanged pleasantries.
Also, in Katsina, worshippers trooped to the various Eid praying grounds in the state as early as 7am. The state governor, Aminu Masari, joined other Muslims to observe the prayers at Dan Fodio Eid Praying Ground in Modoji while the Emir of Katsina, Dr Abdulmumin Kabir, prayed at the Kofar Kuga Eid Praying Ground.
In Borno State, the Governor, Prof Babagana Zulum, alongside his predecessor, Senator Kashim Shettima, the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Garbai Elkanami and other top government officials worshipped at the expansive Ramat Square in Maiduguri. Meanwhile, in Gombe State, at the Eid prayer which took place at the Central Jumma’at Mosque, Emir’s Palace, there was the observance of physical distancing around the prayer spaces.
