Lagos Central Mosque

Lagos, Nigeria

The Lagos Central Mosque is a jum'at mosque, located in Lagos Island, Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria. The mosque serves as the principal home of the Chief Imam of Lagos. It is located along the busy Nnamdi Azikiwe Street. The current mosque was opened for use in May 1988, displacing an earlier mosque that was built between 1908 and 1913. The chief Imam leads jumat service at the mosque and he is the custodian of the mosque. Over the years, titles have been given to individuals by officials of the mosque's executive council. A prominent title is the Baba Adinni, first held by a Mr. Runmonkun, and recently bestowed on A.W. Elias, Wahab Folawiyo and Abdul Hafiz Abou. The first two title holders played significant roles in the construction of a new modern mosque.
