For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes.

 Chief Imam’s Sallah ram stolen in Jos


Drama as the sacrificial ram of the Chief Imam of the Mista Ali community in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, Imam Abdulkadir went missing on the eve of the Ed-el-Kabir.


Abdulkadir’s ram was reportedly stolen during a downpour in the area on the eve of the Ed-el-Kabir.


An Imam in the community, Haruna Yaqub, disclosed this during the sermon, shortly after the two Raka’at prayers.


Yaqub who condemned the incident, described it as “insensitive”.


He added that the act showed that people lack fear for God.


The Imam said, “The Ram of our Chief Imam, which he purposely bought to sacrifice, has been stolen in the night. We are really shocked by the incident. We were surprised to hear this story. This means that people are not God-fearing.


“It is scary that people have gone to the extent of stealing ram meant for religious activity.”


Speaking further, he urged people to be God-fearing and not engage in either stealing or any act of criminality.


He stressed that everyone will account for their actions on earth and hereafter.


“It is high time people repented and took the path of Allah. It is not too late. People should stop committing bad things and act according to Allah’s commandments,” he urged.
