Kogi aide urges restraint after viral prayer confrontation

Kogi governor’s aide Promise Emmanuel has called for religious tolerance after a video showing a confrontation during a roadside Muslim prayer circulated online. The footage reportedly shows a woman confronting Muslims who were praying on a road. The source material does not identify the woman, the worshippers or the precise location of the incident.

Emmanuel’s appeal followed the video’s circulation. His comments, as reported by Punch Nigeria, focused on the need for tolerance between religious communities. No further details were provided about what led to the confrontation, whether anyone was injured or whether authorities had opened an investigation.

The available report also does not state when or where the video was recorded. The incident has nevertheless prompted a public call for restraint from the governor’s aide, who urged people to respond to religious differences with tolerance rather than confrontation.
