The Lagos State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Olanrewaju Elegushi, has urged the leaders of all worship centres in the state to continue to maintain the social distancing rule among their members.
Elegushi stated this at a press briefing at the JJT Park, Alausa, Ikeja, a statement said on Sunday.
The commissioner, who noted that before the Federal Government’s lockdown directive, religious leaders in the state had agreed to shut down their worship centres and restrain worshippers for four weeks. This, he said, was subject to mutual review, stated that the state government would not allow religious gatherings until the medical experts advised otherwise.
He said,
