Cross-Over Services: Sanwoolu Tells Lagosians To Respect 12am To 4am Curfew
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has appealed to Lagosians to respect the 12am to 4am curfew imposed by the Federal Government as Crossover Services would hold in a lot of churches on December 31, 2020.
He also urged religious leaders to ascertain their followers observe the laid down protocols to curtail the spread of the coronavirus as the country is currently facing the second wave of the pandemic.
The governor announced this on Thursday while answering questions from journalists at the State House in Marina, Lagos.
According to him, “There are not meant to be any gathering. The curfew set by the NCDC (Nigeria Centre for Disease Control) and the PTF (Presidential Task Force on COVID-19) is still active. There is a national curfew from 12 midnight to 4am and that has to be respected. No night vigils in any form.
“The instructions are there and all of the restrictions are in place as set by the PTF and the Lagos State Safety Commission.
“So, there are no vigils anywhere. This is just one Christmas, we will have many Christmas. So, you can have your prayers at home.”
Recall that the Ondo State Government had earlier said it had cancelled cross-over services in churches across the state while the Ogun State Government said it restricted attendance at cross-over services as a result of the second wave of the virus.
