The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has called on governor of Lagis State , Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, to intervene on the closure of Falomo Mosque, Ikoyi, this afternoon.
The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LABSCA), a government parastatal under the Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, had sealed up Falomo Mosque today.
Professor Ishaq Akintola, ,the Founder/Executive Director.of MURIC ,in a statement said :
“We find LABSCA’s action outrageous and provocative. How can a mosque which is scheduled for Id festival prayers tommorow morning be sealed today, Tuesday, 26th May, 2026?
“This is the height of insensitivity. Who is out to frustrate Lagos Muslims? Who is bent on stoking the fire of religious crisis in Lagos State? 24 hours to I’d al-kabiir prayers! The timing is curious.*
“We demand immediate removal of the seal from our mosque. Every necessary document has been procured for the construction. We also call on His Excellency, Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, to intervene.*
