Security operatives, including soldiers, policemen and personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have mounted tight security in and around Ilorin Idi praying ground as Muslims marked the end of Ramadan fast.
The state police command had on Friday banned any form of praise singing and political campaigns at the praying ground to forestall any break down of law and order.
Kwara State governor, AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq and top members of his cabinet attended the prayer session.
The Emir of Ilorin, Alh Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari and his high chiefs were also at the prayer ground while the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Sheikh Mohammed Bashir Salihu led the two- rakah prayer.
In his sallah message,Governor AbdulRazaq congratulated Muslims on the completion of Ramadan fast which ultimately heralded the Eid-el-Fitr.
The governor described the days and nights of the month as ones like no other during which the Muslims proudly competed to outdo one another in good deeds.
