"The Inside of the Mosque, place for Ablution (Place for cleansing), the urinary and the general environment of the facility is in a very sorry state".

According to them, the Mosque raises at least one hundred cedis every week and part of that money could have been used to maintain the facility

They have threatened not to give access to the place for any activity "unless a written assurance is given to us on a very concrete plan, to give the dilapidated Mosque a huge face lift".
