The Oyo State Government said on Thursday that the ban placed on public gathering and worship in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state had not been lifted as being rumoured in some quarters.
The disclosure was made in a statement by Jide Ajani, Special Adviser on Media to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
The statement disclaimed the information in a cloned flyer, circulated by “a faceless group” claiming to be members of the Oyo State COVID-19 Task Force, maintaining that the ban on public gathering had been lifted in the state. The statement written in response to the claim read in parts, “There is a fake press statement presently in circulation, referencing some Executive Orders allegedly issued by the Executive Governor of Oyo State.
“The individual who signed the statement is one Adeniran Adenuga, who assumed the title of ‘Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor.”’All rights reserved.
