A group, Kofar Gayan Lowcost Community Development Association, has criticised the sacking of the Imam of Abubakar Mahmood Gumi Mosque, Low Cost, Zaria, Kaduna State, Abubakar Sarki-Aminu, for complying with the lockdown and social distancing order of the State and Federal Governments.
Its position was contained in a report addressed to the Secretary to the Kaduna State Government, Balarabe Abbas, jointly signed by the Chairman, Shamsuddeen Aliyu, and Secretary, Ibrahim Umar.
A copy of the report, titled: “Report of incident with potential to cause an uprising in our community,” was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Zaria, Kaduna State on Tuesday.
NAN reports that the report was drafted after the association formally visited and interacted with both parties (JIBWIS Chairman and Imam Abubakar) and subsequently came up with some resolutions and recommendations.
The resolutions of the report reads in parts: “The peace and unity of our community is not negotiable, we reject any action that is capable of disuniting us and desecrating our Mosque.
“This is a manifestation that we have a law abiding leader (Imam) worthy of commendation. The only reason for the action of the Zaria JIBWIS Chairman is because our Imam has complied with government’s directive.
