The Nigeria Customs Service, Ogun 1 Area Command, has cleared the air on viral video alleging mosque demolition at Nigeria Customs Secondary School Idiroko

In a press statement by the Commands spokesman CSC Hammed Oloyede
stated that,
“Following a thorough investigation, it has been established that the mosque construction was initiated without approval. This contradicts the master plan for the school and junior barracks premises.”

The Command noted that there are ample facilities for religious activities within the Command’s jurisdiction, including mosques and a chapel in the border area, as well as in the CAC’s residence, senior and junior officers’ barracks.

Notably, the mosque within the junior barracks was recently renovated and expanded under the same Officer in Charge of Building.

To foster mutual respect and address concerns, the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller James Ojo, has personally intervened in this matter. He has committed to laying the foundation for a new Mosque at a designated site within the premises and ensuring necessary support and timely completion of the mosque project in line with the Command’s protocols.

The CAC Idiroko under the leadership of
Compt. James Ojo therefore enjoined stakeholders to exercise patience and understanding while respecting the sensitivity of religious matters.

CAC Ojo further cautioned the school administration to uphold harmony and good relations within and around the barracks community.
