Barika deh salah. I think there should be a way or a site where anyone can donate to frontline officers to support them.

Eid Al Adha: Nigerian pastor claims Christians “own Ileya”
Meanwhile, Legit.ng also reported that the Eid al-Adha celebration in 2026 in Nigeria took a new twist after a Nigerian pastor trended in a viral video, saying the Islamic ritual belonged to the Yoruba.
According to the Christian leader, Isaac, the son of Prophet Abraham, who is considered the father of believers, was a Christian.
However, the cleric explained how the coming of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross led to the abolition of the tradition in Christendom.
