Zamfara governor has ordered the reopening of Juma’at mosque after seven years.

 

Glamtush reports that Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has ordered the reopening of one of the state’s largest Juma’at mosques in Moriki town, Zurmi Local Government Area.

This online news platform understands that a dispute between two factional groups, according to reports, led to the closure of the central worship centre also popularly called Friday mosque in the town.

A statement issued on Saturday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Idris, said the intervention was necessary to address the dispute among the people.

Idris said the governor recognises that unity is crucial in fostering social harmony and promoting sustainable development, “especially in these trying times in the state.“

 

The statement read, “Yesterday, the Zamfara State Government, under the leadership of Governor Dauda Lawal, resolved the seven-year-old dispute that resulted in the closure of one of the largest Friday mosques in Moriki town, Zurmi Local Government Area.

“Government deemed it necessary to intervene and take measures to mitigate any factors contributing to disunity among the people.”

The statement noted that Lawal “directed the Ministry of Religious Affairs to construct a new mosque for the other party in the dispute,” adding that the new mosque is “expected to be completed in three months.”

The governor’s spokesperson noted that “both parties have agreed to comply with the terms of the agreement. The Friday prayer last Friday was led by Sheikh Abbas Moriki, whose sermon centred around unity among people.”

In his remarks, the Emir of Moriki, Bashar Muhammad, extended his gratitude to God for witnessing the reopening.

“He also commended the state government for its timely intervention in resolving the dispute,” the statement added.
