President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday observed the Eid-el-Fitr prayers with members of his immediate family at Aso Rock Presidential villa, Abuja.

Recall there have been numerous calls for Muslim faithfuls to observe Eid prayers at home to avoid mass incubation of Covid-19 infections in the country.

Infact, Buhari had said he will not be welcoming guests for any Sallah homage on the occasion of this year’s celebrations, a departure from decades-old practice at the Villa, thanks to the rampaging coronavirus.

Social distancing protocol has also been preached by the World Health Organisation and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
