There have been several ceremonies in the emirate in the last three weeks that have completely violated all the COVID-19 preventive measures as in the government guidelines.

“There are indications that the pandemic is worse today than it was a month ago. There are many more cases moving around undetected and who are transmitting to others. Some deaths are COVID-19 but undetected.

“Previous epidemics even in the times of the Prophet and Sahabas killed more pious, more knowledgeable and more wealthy people. We pray, but are our prayers more potent than those of our pious predecessors?

“My plea is that we should all be more responsible by wearing facemasks when in public, avoid crowds and practice physical distancing. Hand washing and use of hand sanitiser as necessary. Please don’t join those saying we have prayed or its a scam. Its dangerous.

“Here in Ilorin, many are sick, some very, a few critically. Some contacts are not known. Allah doesn’t enjoin carelessness on us. Be responsible. Good morning and have a pleasant weekend” she stressed.
