Ekiti officials met with Muslim leaders about a demolished mosque in Aramoko Ekiti that upset everyone. Deputy Governor Monisade Afuye promised to fix the problem after talking with Islamic groups. The mosque came down to make space for Senator Opeyemi Bamidele's new market project. Another plot of land has already been given to Muslims for rebuilding their place of worship.
The government wants peace between all religions. It plans to talk with Senator Bamidele and local chiefs about making things right. Muslim leader Dr. Hameed Bakri thanked officials for stepping in quickly and asked all Muslims to stay calm because the government would help them.
Local Imam Abdul-Raheem Junaid Bamigbola said two mosques were knocked down within six months, which angered people. He explained that they started rebuilding, but officials stopped their work. The Muslim community just wants a new mosque built in a good location. Everyone hopes this keeps the religious peace going in Ekiti State.
