The oldest and most important mosque in Yola, established in the 19th century at the founding of the Adamawa Emirate. Repeatedly enlarged and rebuilt, the mosque sits at the heart of old Yola near the Lamido's palace and remains the city's main gathering point for Friday prayers.
Non-Muslim visitors should ask permission before entering and dress modestly. The surrounding alleys of old Yola are the most coherent stretch of pre-colonial urban fabric in the city.
