No Room For Cross-Over Service In Lagos – Sanwo-Olu to Churches.

The executive governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state, has advised churches against violating the 12am to 4am curfew imposed by the federal government as part of efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

This warning was issued by the state governor on Thursday while responding to questions on annual cross-over services organized by churches on December 31 — the services are usually scheduled to run into the early hours of January 1.

Sanwo-Olu urged religious leaders to ensure their followers obey the safety protocols put in place to curb the spread of the virus.

 “There are not meant to be gatherings. We’ve said so. The curfew that has been set by NCDC, PTF is still active. From 12 midnight to 4am, there is a national curfew and that has to be respected,” he said.

 “There are no night vigils in any form. The instructions are there; all of the restrictions are still in place that have been set by PTF and also Lagos state commission and all of the rules that have been set. So, there are no vigils anywhere.

 “This is just one Christmas. We will have several Christmas so you can have your prayers at home. The curfews even start at 12, so people still need to obey those rules.”
