Residents of Assakio Development Area in Lafia, Nasarawa State were thrown into confusion on Saturday when an illuminated cross was sighted about 5 feet from
a mosque,causing people to gather around for this very unusual sight. While some people claim to have been healed after visiting the scene of the cross, others are filled with fear and shock.

 It was observed that the illuminated cross was projected on to the ground and the cross was first sighted by a 15 year-old-girl, Hajara Hussaini , at about 8pm on Wednesday when on an errand for her parents. Her mum Matan confirmed her daughter saw the crucifix while returning from the errand.


 The Chief Imam of Assakio Central Mosque, Muhammed Iliyasu, who confirmed the incident said the appearance of the cross within the premises of the mosque was a revelation from God, affirming that “Jesus is also a prophet of God.”
