The Muslim Community in Lagos Island has strongly condemned the viral video on social media in which a Masquerade was seen solely performing Prayer otherwise known as Solat.
The disturbing incident which is now causing tension among the Muslim Community and residents occured at idunmota Bus stop Lagos Island last week Thursday.
One of the Muslim leaders, Ustaz Qamardeen Ajala in a reaction said that the incident had been officially reported at the Police Command in Zone 2, Onikan.
According to him, the unfortunate demonstration which attracted large crowd was provocative and deliberate atack on the adherents of Islam and the religion.
Ustaz Qamardeen Ajala however appealed to Muslims and other residents to remain calm and not to take laws in their hands over the matter.
He therefore called on the Lagos State Government and the Commissioer of Police to launch a thorough investigation into the matter and arrest those behind it.
Qamardeen Ajala insisted that even when it is clear in Islam that there is no compulsion of religion, it was wrong for anyone or group of people to portray Islam in an embarrassing and comedy manner.
