One of the leading Islamic scholars in the community, Mallam Haruna Yaqub, who disclosed this during the Eid sermon shortly after the two Raka’at prayers, condemned the incident, describing it as unfortunate and wicked on the part of the criminal who stole the sacrificial ram.
“The Ram of our Chief Imam, which he purposely bought to sacrifice, was stolen in the night.
“We are really shocked and perplexed by the incident. We were astonished to hear this story. This means that people are not God’s fearing. It is scaring that people have gone to the extent of stealing ram meant for religious activity,” Yaqub said.
Yaqub reiterated his call for the community to be steadfast in their faith, to be God-fearing, and to never engage in any act of criminality. He stressed that everyone will be held accountable for their actions, both in this life and the hereafter.
