• We may close worship centres again, FG warns

Our correspondent observed that there was proper social distancing among worshippers during the prayer session.

Earlier on Thursday, the mosque issued guidelines on how Friday service would be conducted, including the use of facemasks by all worshippers who must pray inside the Mosque.

Daily Trust reports that the Jumma’at prayer is the first since April when the state government closed down all worship centres across the state.
