Close to a year after a woman reportedly delivered a child with a miniature
copy of Holy Quran in Lagos state Nigeria and another born with Islamic
rosary in Ogun state, another amazing turn of event has occurred in Lagos.
At a low-key mosque in Owode Onirin area of Ikorodu, Lagos, perceived
images of some Islamic clerics who died decades ago were believed to have
made sudden appearances on the walls of Dawiz Central Mosque in the area.
When journalists visited the mosque, thousands of people and passers-by
storm the mosque to have a glimpse.
The images were identified as that of late Sheikh Ahmada Tijani, (Algeria)
Sheikh Ibraheem Niass, (Senegal) Sheikh Jamiu Bulala. (Nigeria)
Although the images were not clear as at the time Vanguard visited, but
those who spoke to Vanguard said the images were clearer on Tuesday when
they were first noticed.
According to Eye-witness: “The images were noticed on Tuesday September
3, on the walls of the mosque which was constructed a few months ago and
owned by Sheikh Musa Alegbeleye.”
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 occurrence 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.
Efforts to speak with the founder of the group and leader of the mosque,
Sheikh Alegbeleye, was futile, as we were told he was sleeping after
observing several vigil prayers.
Speaking on the development and an eye-witness, the President of Islamic
society of Nigeria, Lagos State Mukadam Alhaji Samodu Onikoyi confirmed
the appearance of the images. “We started noticing a very faint image which
came with intermittent brightness on the inside wall of the mosque which
were replica of the portrait of Sheikh Ibrahim Niass, Sheikh Jamiu Bulala and
Sheikh Ahmaa Tijani engraved on the walls of the building.”
How it Happened: “A member of the mosque Alhaja Idayatu Idera Afolabi first
noticed it and she rushed out to inform everybody and when we saw it, we
decided to cover it, because we thought if we announce it, people will think it
is ruse that one is trying to play on their intelligence. But when I also saw it, I
was greatly terrified, wondering how such thing could have happened”.
“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“.
An eye-witness also disclosed that attempt was made by some individuals to
wash off the images but to no avail; adding that the more they try to rub it off,
the more the images become clearer.
