Despite initial outreach from the NSA and a subsequent media launch on the subject, the proposed partnership did not materialize, and there was no response from the NSA to follow-up correspondence from the Chief Imam's office.

Sheikh Arimiyao emphasized, "We demand an apology."

The Chief Imam's office suspects fraudulent activity and is calling for an investigation, especially concerning the possibility that organizers may have sought sponsorship for an event that was not taking place.

The scheduled date for the event, April 28, 2024, has passed without any communication regarding a postponement or cancellation.

Sheikh Arimiyao expressed disappointment that no one had informed the Chief Imam's office about the status of the event, noting that they expected to receive event materials such as logos or posters as the scheduled date approached, but nothing was provided.
