Coronavirus: Lagos Moves To Stop Sunday, Juma’at services

Sanwo-Olu

The Lagos State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Gbenga Omotosho, told journalists that State Government has resolved to urge religious leaders to halt Friday (Juma’at) and Sunday services.

Omotosho at a press conference on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020 said the religious leaders will be urged to halt services in the best interest of the general public.

He made this remarks a few hours after Lagos State recorded its seventh confirmed coronavirus case.

We are all aware that the Federal Government asked the National Youth Service Corps to shut down orientation camps; yesterday (Tuesday) the Commissioner for Home Affairs said there will be a meeting with religious leaders today (Wednesday).

It is going to be suggested to them to maybe stop Friday and Sunday services – wherever we have large gatherings.

Going by the new development, I am sure they will be advised to shut down the services in the interest of the public and all of us. I am sure they are going to comply,

Omotosho said.
