The mysterious sighting attracted a mammoth crowd from Assakio and its
environs with many praying for forgiveness and blessings.
Our correspondent observed that the illuminated cross was projected on
to the ground.
A 15 year-old-girl, Hajara Hussaini, in an interview with newsmen, said she
first sighted the sign of a cross at about 8pm on Wednesday.
Hussaini, who said she had been sent on an errand by her parents,
explained that when she saw a strange light, she as gripped by fear and rushed
back home to alert her mother, Matan Liman.
Confirming the incident to journalists, Matan said she had sent her
daughter to visit her grandmother. The middle-aged woman added that her
daughter saw the crucifix while returning from the errand.
The Chief Imam of Assakio Central Mosque, Muhammed Iliyasu, who
confirmed the incident, told our correspondent that 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.”
Also confirming the incident to our correspondent, Very Rev. Micheal
Dogo of the Evangelical Reform Church of Christ, Assakio, described the
appearance of the cross as a sign of reconciliation in the community.
Other eyewitnesses, who spoke to newsmen at the scene of the sighting,
expressed fear and bewilderment.
An Enugu State native, Grace Eze, who resides in the Ashige area of the
community, added that she got healed after visiting the scene of the cross.
She said, “I underwent a surgery about two years ago after which I
started to experience a movement in my body. But after praying before the
cross, I got healed.”

of the cross in the mosque. Read more
