The compound of the former Hakimi of Ward ‘B’ in Lokoja, late Alhaji Baba Alabi of Cantonment street, in Lokoja was filled to its capacity as the family members held an 8-Days fidau prayer for the late Zainab ibrahim Abdulsalaam who died on 19th July 2025 at the age of 64 years.
According to the leader of the Islamic clerics, Halifa Arif Yabagi, who delivered the sermon at the event reminded the gathering about life and death stressing that people should try as much as possible to be close to God, be good to others, and remember the last day on earth.
He continued, “We should all have it at the back of our mind that death is imminent, we cannot question Allah because He giveth and taketh whenever He wishes”.
“However, I want to admonish us to hold unto Allah, be good to others, and remember the day of judgment. The deceased has fulfilled her destiny on earth and we pray to Allah to forgive her misdeed, grant her aljanah fridau, and give the family she left behind the fortitude to bear the great loss”. He prayed.
In his thank-you message, Hon. Muhammad Alabi, a member of the family, thank all that came to grace the Fidau prayer and wished them journey mercy.
Present at the prayer session includes family members, top government functionaries, political elites, real estate magnates, title chiefs, and well-wishers.
