Kogi aide seeks religious tolerance following viral roadside prayer controversy

Kogi State's Senior Special Assistant on Cybercrime, Promise Emmanuel, has called for religious tolerance following a viral video showing a woman confronting Muslims who were praying on a road. Emmanuel argued that while blocking roads for Friday prayers was wrong, the practice could be linked to the large number of Muslims who gather for prayers and limited space.

He also pointed out that some Christian evangelism practices, including preaching to people in their homes without invitation and using loudspeakers in public places, were also wrong. Emmanuel emphasized the importance of tolerance in a religiously diverse society, arguing that Christians and Muslims share similarities despite their different beliefs.
