Muslim faithful in Inisa, Odo-Otin local government have reconvened for Jumat prayers three years after the mosque was shut following leadership tussle.
The chief imam of Oyan, Yunus Akomolafe led a delegation of concerned Islamic scholars to observe the Jumat and special prayers for the community.
In 2021, the Osun State Government shut the Inisa Central mosque following a report of loss of lives over a disagreement on who would become the new Chief Imam of the community.
The then administration later reopened the mosque after normalcy was restored though the crisis was still far from over, as no worshiper could pray in the mosque over tension about who will lead the prayer.
Though, the case of who becomes the Chief Imam had since been in court, a delegation of concerned Islamic clerics on Friday spearheaded the reopening of the mosque for Ju’muat prayers three years after closure.
The Islamic leaders appreciate all religious stakeholders in the community for supporting the Peace move and for allowing the reopening of the worship centre.
They allayed the fear of people of possible violence while assuring worshippers and residents of the town that Islamic ethos will be employed in resolving the misunderstanding.
Notable scholars including, Ilorin based preacher, Sheikh Hamad Labeeb, Secretary of the Association of Imam and Khatib in Osun State, Sheikh Abdullahi Olohunlomerue among others were in attendance.
