Adamawa Muslims hold prayers for rainfall amid prolonged dry spell

Muslims in the Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State held prayer sessions seeking rainfall after a prolonged dry spell that caused crops to wilt. Chief Imam Saidu Garba led the prayers at the Central Eid Ground, urging worshippers to refrain from actions that could anger Allah. The prolonged drought could significantly affect agricultural production in the area, which is a major crop-growing center for maize, groundnuts, rice, and beans.
