CHAOS IN IKORODU AS BIZARRE
IMAGES APPEAR IN MOSQUE
Just
last Tuesday, an incredible event occurred at Owode Onirin, Ikorodu, Lagos; as
images of some clerics who died decades ago were believed to have made sudden
appearances on the walls of Dawiz Central Mosque in the area.
The
images were identified as that of late Sheikh Ahmada Tijani, (Algeria) Sheikh
Ibraheem Niass, (Senegal) Sheikh Jamiu Bulala. (Nigeria)
Those
who spoke said the images were very clear when they first appeared on Tuesday.
“The images were noticed on Tuesday September 3, on the walls of the mosque
which was constructed a few months ago and owned by Sheikh Musa Alegbeleye,”
said an eye witness.
It
was gathered that four months ago, the image of Sheikh Jamiu Bulala Islamic
Cleric, who had died two decades ago appeared first faintly to the
consternation of Muslim faithful and they decided never to make it public to
create any doubt.
The
strange occurrence has turned the serene Owode Onirin area into a Makkah of
sorts as people thronged the area not only to see but to also offer some
prayers.
Right
inside the mosque, people were seen holding bottles/satchets of water muttering
prayers and shouting Allahu Akbar (God is great). Some were even seen bowing to
the image.
“We started noticing a very faint image which
came with intermittent brightness on the inside wall of the mosque which were
replica of the portrait of Sheikh Ibrahim Niass, Sheikh Jamiu Bulala and Sheikh
Ahmaa Tijani engraved on the walls of the building.”
How
it happened: “A member of the mosque Alhaja Idayatu Idera Afolabi first noticed
it and she rushed out to inform everybody and when we saw it, we decided to
cover it, because we thought if we announce it, people will think it is ruse
that one is trying to play on their intelligence. But when I also saw it,
I was greatly terrified, wondering how such thing could have happened”.
“My
thought was that the image would eventually disappear but on the second day, it
brightened more and started showing on all sides of the building which made us
to still cover it until it became public“.
An
eye-witness also disclosed that attempt was made by some individuals to wash
off the images but to no avail; adding that the more they try to rub it off,
the more the images become clearer.
