The Earlier statement had been rescind, therefore Ramadan begins saturday, this is the most confused and most controversial ramadan I have ever witnessed and its a shame on our leaders, the announcement of the sighting came too late, imagine past midnight when many have received earlier statement from Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) that fasting will commence on sunday, those who didnt wake up for sahur and missed fajr without the intention of fasting will have to make up this first ramadan because without the intention of ramadan there is no ramadan. Here is the link of the earlier statement that fasting is sunday from sultan emirate and NSCIA by Vanguard newspaper which the NSCIA confirmed to vanguard. vanguardngr/2014/06/muslims-begin-ramadan-fast-tomorrow/ Here was the last update from leadership news which came past midnight and is the correct one: The Sultan of Sokoto and President General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III yesterday urged the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria to commence their fast today, Saturday, June 28, 2014, following the sighting of the moon in various parts of Nigeria. The Sultan who assured earlier that a formal announcement would be made immediately the moon is sighted, spoke through the Chairman, Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs of the Sultanate Council, Prof. Junaidu Sambo. According to him, the moon was sighted in Kebbi, Sokoto and other parts of the country. “There was delay in the confirmation because we were waiting and doing analysis to collate all our sources information. The moon was sighted in Kebbi, Sokoto, Katsina and other parts of the country and therefore, the Sultanate Council is hereby calling on all Muslim faithful in Nigeria to commence fasting today being Saturday as the first day of Ramadan,” the Sultan explained. leadership.ng/news/376267/ramadan- begins-today-sultan Therefore fast begin today 28th June 2014
