The Imam of Gwammaja Mosque that performed Friday Prayers in Kano despite the lockdown order has been arrested. The state government that took up the enforcement of the lockdown law serves warning through the arrest to any other that may attempt breaking the lockdown law.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s media aide, Salihu Tanko Yakasai while announcing this via his twitter handle said all Imams in Kano supported the coronavirus-enforced lockdown in the state.
The state governor said the lockdown became necessary after a coronavirus case was recorded in the state on Saturday, April 11, 2020. As of Friday, April 17, 2020, the state had recorded 21 cases of the pandemic. Therefore the enforcement of the lockdown law should not be undermined.
