Sallah: Chief Imam’s sacrificial Ram stolen In Jos
Imam Abdulkadir, the Chief Imam of Mista Ali community in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, has reported the theft of his sacrificial ram.
The incident took place during a heavy downpour on the eve of Eid-el-Kabir. Malam Haruna Yaqub, another Imam in the community, revealed this during his sermon after the two Raka’at prayers, condemning the act and calling it insensitive.
“The Ram of our Chief Imam, which he purposely bought to sacrifice, was stolen in the night.

“We are really shocked by the incident. We were surprised to hear this story.
“This means that people are not God-fearing. It is scary that people have gone to the extent of stealing ram meant for religious activity,” Yaqub said.
Yaqub, however, urged the people to fear God and steer clear of theft or any criminal behaviour, stressing that everyone will answer for their deeds in this life and the next.
He said, “It is high time people repented and took the path of Allah. It is not too late. People should stop committing bad things and act according to Allah’s commandments.
