In the words from the holy Qu’ran: “If anybody in Islam is declared missing and not found after four years of being missing, the family should organise a Fidau prayer in remembrance of the person, either dead or still alive.”
It is exactly four years after Nigerian Television Authority’s popular broadcaster, Alhaji Aremu Rasqak Gawat, was declared missing in a controversial circumstance of Lagos.
Following this, Gawat’s daughter, Alhaja Rukayat Gawat-Oyefeso, has picked July 10, 2016 to stage a Fidau prayer and big remembrance party for her missing dad.
The event takes place at Muri International Television premises, Alausam Ikeja, Lagos, while Sheikh Muyideen Ajani Bello and Sheik Daud Abdul Majeed Eleha (Alfa Nla) will be the distinguished clerics of the day.
Gawat’s sudden disappearance has remained a mystery to many, with so many unanswered questions, while series of special prayer sessions were organised for the missing ace broadcaster and former staff of NTA, Tejuosho, Yaba, Lagos.
The circumstances that led to the sudden disappearance of Gawat was described as “mysterious” by many, but with optimism and prayers, it was believed the missing TV presenter could be found.
Meanwhile, the daughter, Alhaja Rukayat Gawat-Oyefeso, who is the current rave of the moment in Islamic music circuit, recently released a threefold album titled: “Ramadan Special,” which consists of “Alao Jowujowu”, featuring Suleiman Alao, aka Malaika, Temitope and followed by a joint effort which features over 20 Islamic actors, with the title: “Ramadan Kareem.”
The easy-going singer made her name with the release of her first album and since then has performed at several big Islamic functions.
Her musical albums include Imole, My Father, Arinakore, Aye Le, Iyawo Obun and Agboko L’Ori, as well as Ogbe-Okan.
