In a strong statement released today, the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) has denounced the unfortunate incident that unfolded during the Eid-el Kabir prayers at the Osogbo Central Eid Praying Ground. The religious group expressed deep concern over the attempt to introduce partisan politics into a sacred religious arena.
Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, the President of MUSWEN, highlighted the regrettable nature of the clash, emphasizing that it should never have occurred in a place of worship. He expressed disappointment that a disagreement over sitting arrangements escalated into unnecessary chaos, tarnishing the sanctity of the occasion. Oladejo emphasized that such incidents amplify the distressing chasm that political intolerance has created in the country.
