A 32-year-old man identified as Rayyanu has been found dead inside a mosque after the early morning Subhi prayer in Paso community, Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Confirming the incident, a resident of Paso, Ibrahim Musa, said the incident happened on Tuesday around 5:56 am when the late Rayyanu came to the mosque to observe the Subhi prayers.
He said the deceased arrived at the mosque on a motorcycle and decided to take a nap after the prayers but died in his sleep.
“It was around 7:28 am when some people in charge of cleaning the mosque saw the man lying there. They tried to wake him so they could clean the mosque, but he was not responding,” Musa said.
He added that the two men raised an alarm, attracting the attention of some Muslim elders in the area, who rushed to the mosque and took the victim to the hospital, where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead.
Musa said the deceased was later identified and handed over to his relatives for burial.
