“At the end of the meeting, the Chairman of the FCT League of Imams Initiative, Dr Tajudeen Mohammed Bello Adigun, speaking on behalf of the League, said “In Islam, you listen to experts, those who are specialists and those who have actually discussed with us are experts in the field of medical sciences. In Islam, you also abide by the commands of leadership.
“Based on this and what we are convinced of, we urge Muslim Ummah to also respect this stand of the administration of the FCT by observing our Eid prayers within our localities,” the statement signed by Ogunleye added.
