As one of his last acts in office, President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the control of Obalende Eid Prayer Ground be returned to the Lagos Jama’atul Muslimeen Council of the Lagos Central Mosque.
While approving the report of a Special Committee he constituted to address the issues in conflict between the Lagos Muslim Community and Federal Government Agencies, particularly those stationed at the Dodan Barracks, President Buhari directed all those government agencies to recognize and respect the fact that the Obalende Eid Prayer Ground legally belongs to the Jama’atul Muslimeen Council of the Lagos Central Mosque.

The President also directed that the Dodan Barracks authorities ensure that the Muslim Communities and their agents have unrestricted access to the Obalende Eid Prayer Ground at all times.
