With the growing hardship and hunger witnessed across Nigeria, residents of Katsina State on Tuesday, August 6, went to God in prayers to ease their challenges.
The residents came out en masse to observe a special prayer session to seek Allah’s intervention against the lingering economic hardship and insecurity in the state.
Residents attended the prayer session held at the premises of the Katsina Arabic Teachers College playground in their numbers amid tight security.
They prayed to Almighty Allah to end the growing economic hardship, hunger, and insecurity, among other challenges facing the country.
The residents also performed the ‘Al-Qunut prayer’ – a type of supplication offered during prayer at a specific point while standing.
According to them, this kind of prayer is recommended when a calamity befalls any community.
In the same vein, a prayer session was conducted at the Filin Samji, Filin Yammawa and Filin Canada football grounds, all within the Katsina metropolis.
The participants explained that they resorted to such prayers as the last option for them towards addressing hunger, insecurity and other challenges.
