Proper home training has been identified as one of the ways to reduce criminal activities in the society.
An Islamic cleric, Alfa Mutiulai Olaoye, stated this at the Jaleoyemi Prayer Ground, Oko, Oyo State, where two Rakat prayers were offered to mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
Alfa Olaoye, who noted that charity begins at home, said that no properly trained child would kill, kidnap or perpetrate evil in the society.
He appealed to the Federal Government to proffer lasting solutions to the security challenges ravaging the country, saying the situation has reached an alarming level.
Alfa Olaoye also advised the Muslim faithful to imbibe the virtues of fear of Allah, obedience, perseverance, and sacrifice as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
The cleric, however, urged wealthy Muslims to cultivate the habit of assisting the less privileged during and after the Sallah celebration.
He also challenged Muslim women to be submissive to their husbands in order to enjoy peaceful homes.
In joyous mood, coupled with their colourful attires, some of the faithful, including Alhaji Taofeek Nasir, Alhaji Basiru Adelakun, and Alfa Musbaudeen Akorede, appreciated God for sparing their lives to witness this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
