The Ogun State Police Command says it has received an intelligence report that some religious leaders are planning to reopen places of worship in defiance to the state government directives.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
The state governor, Dapo Abiodun, had at a press briefing on Friday lamented that he was forced to suspend the planned reopening of the worship centres following the situation of COVID-19 in the state. “As a responsible organisation constitutionally mandated to maintain peace and order, the police will not fold its hands while some people will be openly flouting the law of the land.”
