COVID-19: Cleric advises Muslims during Ramadan

The Chief Imam of Ife in Osun,  Alhaji AbdulSemiu AbdulHammed, has urged muslims to comply with government stay-at-home order during the Ramadan.

AbdulHammed gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ile-Ife.

He said “Coronavirus is a pandemi and real”.

The cleric admonished muslims to take heed to all dos and don’ts prescribed by health personnel and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to combat the pandemic.

According to him, religious leaders should desist from gathering members together for observing congregational prayers during the period.

He observed that this year’s fasting would be quite different from the others in the past because of the pandemic.

AbdulHammed reminded the public of using sanitisers, observe social distancing, covering of the mouth and nose where necessary.

The cleric advised the public to cooperate with the state government and give full support for directives on how to fight the disease.
