“In areas the team arrived late due to the short prayer time, worshipers were warned to pray at their homes as the mosque and prayer grounds are shut for now”, he said.
Last Friday, the team was in Kubwa where it also shut down some mosques amid threats from some youths who wanted a resort to violence.
In the wake of the outbreak of the Covid-19, the FCT minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello had shut down all religious houses, event centres, recreational parks and gardens.
