“Opening religious centres at a time we have such an increase in Lagos is like walking into COVID-19 death trap and no church leader will be happy to see their members dead when the pandemic is eventually over.” SocialDistancing ReligiousCentres COVID19
Senior Pastor of Praise Arena, Kingdom Light Christian Centre, Lekki, Lagos, Dr Jummy Adetoyese-Olagunju, said this while declaring support for the suspension of the reopening of religious centres by the Lagos State government.
“Opening religious centres at a time we have such an increase in Lagos is like walking into COVID-19 death trap and no church leader will be happy to see their members dead when the pandemic is eventually over. In Africa, we are socially connected based on our culture. Hence, you can’t sustain too much social distance in the churches for too long because of the sense of divine security,” he said.
