The Bauchi State Government has directed that Muslim Faithful should observe the Eid prayers in their respective Jumma’at mosques and Eid praying grounds nearest to their houses to ease congestion at the Eid praying grounds in line with the Federal government’s order.
This was contained in a press release, issued and signed by the Senior Special Media Assistant on Media, Comrade Mukhtar Gidado and made available to newsmen in Bauchi.
