The National Prayer session scheduled to take place tomorrow Saturday, 10th August, at Isyaka Rabi’u’s Mosque, Goron Dutse, Kano, has been cancelled due to security reasons.

SolaceBase recalls that the #endbadgovernance nationwide peaceful protest that started on August 1st, 2024 was marred by a series of violent attacks on public and private properties across some states, resulting in looting, killings and injuries.

The cancellation of the National Prayer was announced in a statement issued by the National Prayer, Coordinator, Mubarak Ibrahim Lawan, on Friday in Kano.

According to the statement,’’ Kano Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, and DSS director in the state, Alhassan Muhammad, have alerted us that some evil forces in the country have faithlessly prepared to send some miscreants to penetrate the law-abiding worshippers and use the gathering to their advantage.

‘’It is suspected that they would lead some youths on into looting, shoplifting and freebooting once again as it happened on 1st August, the day the national protest began,’’ SolaceBase reports.

‘’Hence we cancel the massive gathering today Friday, 9th August, to avert the could-be chaotic mayhem in the state. We ask the general public to remain in their respective quarters’ mosques and recite as much Qur’an and pray there as scheduled. The prayer goal could be achieved wherever we are as Allah Hears us wherever we are!’’
