Emir orders Imams to organise prayer for rainfall, peace

The Emir of Karaye in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II, has directed Imams in the emirate to offer special prayers for rainfall and peace.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the monarch gave the directive yesterday through a statement by the emirate’s Information Officer, Haruna Gunduwawa.

He directed all district and village heads to liaise with the clerics in organising such prayers in their respective areas.

“You should dwell on praying to the Almighty Allah to provide us with rainfall for a bumper harvest as well as peace in the area,” he said.

Also calling on the clerics to pray God to end the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), Abubakar urged traditional rulers to continue to be vigilant and report the suspicious movement of people, especially new faces, to the authorities for prompt action.

He also urged them to remain committed to improving the enrolment of children in schools in their areas.
