Council Boss Tasks Muslims On Govt Directives During Ramadan

The Executive Chairman, Agege Local Government Council, Lagos State, Alhaji Ganiyu Egunjobi has urged Muslim Faithful to adhere to government directives on COVID-19 during the Ramadan period to prevent spread of the pandemic in the state.
Egunjobi gave the advice in an interview with newsmen yesterday in Lagos.
According to him, Muslim Faithful should adhere strictly to all directives from the government during this Ramadan period to curtail further spread of the virus.
“I am not a nominal Muslim, I practise, but no religion, not even Islam subscribe to suicide or attempted suicide.
“We cannot continue to press the self-destruction button in the name of worshipping God,” he said.
The chairman said the local government had shut down the popular Alhaja Mosque in Agege to prevent spread of the pandemic among the worshipers and residents as a whole.
Egunjobi said that such action had prevented the possible spread of the virus among the over 300 worshipers in the mosque.
“We recently made the headlines for leading a team of the council officials to shut down a mosque in the area where worshippers defied government’s ban on congregational worship amid the Coronavirus after they viciously attacked officials of the State’s Taskforce on the COVID-19,” he said.
