The Houthi group in Hodeidah city appointed a mentally deranged person as a preacher in one of the city’s mosques.
Local sources said that the worshipers were surprised by “the crazy Gamal” when he rised the pulpit last Friday, at the mosque of Al-Aaqil, by order from the Awqaf Office in Hodeidah.
The sources said that the new Khatib appointed by the Houthis provoked widespread ridicule among the worshipers after he made many serious mistakes during his Friday sermons.
The Houthi militia seeks to control religious discourse in mosques by appointing loyalists in many mosques.
