It was gathered that four months ago, the image of Sheikh Jamiu Bulala Islamic Cleric, who had died two decades ago appeared first faintly to the consternation of Muslim faithful and they decided never to make it public to creat any doubt.
The strange occurence has turned the serene Owode Onirin area into a Makkah of sorts as people thronged the area not only to see but to also offer some prayers. Right inside the mosque, people were seen holding bottles/satchets of water muttering prayers and shouting Allahu Akbar (God is great). Some were even seen bowing to the image.
“My
thought was that the image would eventually disappeared but on the
second day, it brightened more and started showing on all sides of the
building which made us to still cover it untill it became public“.
Non-Muslims’ comment
I don’t believe it — Mrs Oluranti Jonson
For me, that image is not real and it’s
an evil imagination. Because the Bible says Jesus will come down with
the Holy Saints and Prophet at the last day. And I will advice those
clerics to stop deceiving people because I don’t understand what that
means and I have not seen such before.
It’s a sign of end time — Mr Mike Nwoha
This
is unbelievable, although as a Christian, I’m not trying to say this is
evil but to them they believe; it’s a sign of end time and some of them
said it is stated in the Koran. So, I cannot judge, only God knows the
truth about it. All I can say is that we are all serving the living God,
there should not be anything like the Muslims are idol worshipers but
to me this is a sign of end time. So, people should mend their ways.
Also,
one Mrs Idayatu Afolabi said: “When we saw that the image, it was a
strange thing, I told my husband to inform those that know better than
us, it was then we called on the Imam who told us not to announce it
until now that the images decided to brighten up on the wall of the
mosque building “.
The
shout of “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) rented the air as hundreds of
people continue to find their ways to the the Mosque in Owode Onirin to
have a glimpse
