The ancient and historic mosque in Kofar Fada, in the state’s Zaria Local Government Area, collapsed, causing the loss of life and injury to others, according to the Kaduna State branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), which has expressed dismay at the incident.
The ancient and historic mosque at Kofar Fada, Zaria, suddenly collapsed on Friday, August 11, 2023, during ta’asar prayers, according to a statement released by Revs. Joseph John Hayab and Ma’aji Caleb, the organization’s chairman and secretary, respectively. As a result, many worshipers who were doing their required prayers died, and many more suffered injuries of varying severity.
