Thousands of Muslims on Friday
gathered to see the alleged mysterious face of a Moslem cleric, Alfa Sheikh
Ibrahim Niass, who died 39 years ago, but was seen on the wall of Ilogbo
Central Mosque in Lagos.
According to an eye witness
who simply gave his name as Mustapha, the mysterious appearing of Niass was a
blessing to Muslims and Nigeria. In his words:
“I went to the Ilogbo Central
Mosque and saw a huge crowd, both Muslims and Christians. I saw people using
“Pure Water” to wash some parts of the Mosque, and allowing the water to fall
into their container. Those without container used handkerchief in cleaning the
wall before using it on their body, saying it will heal their sickness.
“The face of late Alfa Niass
was just appearing on different parts of the wall at Ilogbo Central Mosque, and
shortly it will disappear. As at 1pm (on Friday) that I got here, the crowd was
too much. Even when the police saw the crowd that came, they had to go back.
Some of us who had wanted to pray in the mosque could no longer pray because of
the crowd.
A reporter with Vanguard who
went to the scene saw the face of the cleric on the wall of the said Mosque on
Friday afternoon, but was informed that the face started appearing since
Thursday night.
Things are happening...!
