Protesters gathered at Lekki toll gate and Alausa, Ikeja, to continue the protest today, October 16, and when it was time for Jumat prayers they gave way for the Muslims to say their prayers while the non-Muslims stood around and maintained silence.
During the prayer session, other protest activities were suspended.
One of the worshippers at Alausa, Ismail Adam, said the imam preached about love and unity.
“The Imam spoke briefly about love and unity. He also encouraged us to persevere and pray for our leaders. We also prayed for Nigeria’s progress. After our prayers, everybody, including some Christians, chorused ‘aamin’,” Adam added.
According to the protest schedule released on Thursday, Christians are also expected to worship at their protest grounds on Sunday.
The schedule showed that the Sunday Service of DayStar’s Pastor Sam Adeyemi would be streamed live at Lekki toll gate.
