The controversial banner at Lekki Central Mosque, Lagos, bearing the inscription, “Jesus Christ is not God. He is a Prophet and Messenger of God!” has been removed after widespread public outrage.

The removal was confirmed through a video shared on the social media platform X by a user identified as Adeleke Opeyemi. In the post, Opeyemi wrote: “The controversial banner has been removed from Lekki Central Mosque. Everyone can rest now… My opinion: No one can fight for God. Religion is a sensitive issue, and we should all take it easy sometimes.”

The video featured Tunde Alabi, a member of the Lekki Muslim Community, who stated that he personally verified the banner’s removal after notifying the mosque committee about the backlash.

In the video, Alabi explained, “Good evening, everybody. My name is Tunde Alabi. I’m a member of the Lekki Muslim Community, and I noticed there was a banner posted in front of our mosque that was causing some kind of controversies. I sent a message to the mosque committee, and I was told that it had been removed. So I came here personally to check for myself.”

Pointing to the location where the banner was displayed, he confirmed, “It has actually been removed, as you can see. I am not speaking on behalf of the mosque, but I can confirm that it has been removed. Let me say I’m sorry for the inconvenience that must have caused. The banner has been removed. Thank you.”

Alabi concluded by noting the date and time: “Today’s date is the 18th of December 2024, and it’s about 6 p.m.”
