The mosque located inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja resumed religious activities today with Juma’at service after weeks of closure due to the restriction placed on worship places as part of measures to curtail the spread of Covid-19.
As the mosque resumed, President Buhari, led some top government officials and his aides to participate in the first Juma’at after many weeks.
Social distancing was observed in the sitting arrangement inside the mosque tucked between the President’s office and the Council Chamber.
All worshipers, except the President, also used face masks as recommended by the PTF.
One of the President’s media aides, Bashir Ahmad, shared some photographs from the service on Twitter with the inscription, “Photos from Juma’at prayers at the State House Mosque, Abuja this afternoon, President Muhammadu Buhari and other worshippers were in attendance.”
The presidential aide also wrote, ”Alhamdulillah, we observed first Juma’at prayers after many weeks.” More photos below :
