Katsina Emir and residents goes spiritual
The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, on Tuesday, led residents to a widely attended rain-seeking prayer session.
The prayers held at about 8:00 am at the Eid Prayer Ground Mosque on Tuesday were led by the Chief Imam of the Katsina Central Mosque, Imam Gambo Mustapha.
During the event, participants called on residents to intensify such prayers to ensure a bumper harvest for the ease of economic hardship, a decrease in food prices, and the resolution of insecurity bedevilling the state.
One of the participants Abdurrahman Bature told Channels Television that crop plantations are in serious need of water to survive amidst the high cost of food items in the market.
He cautioned residents to fear Allah in their daily activities and for leaders to treat their subjects with sincerity.
“Even these unnecessary killings of innocent citizens can be responsible for rainfall shortage including our bad characters,” he said.
The development comes as the country battles the rising cost of living, and food inflation as high as 40 per cent. (Channels TV)
