Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has urged Lagosians to respect the 12am to 4am curfew imposed by the Federal Government as regards Crossover Night Services slated hold in various churches on December 31, 2020 in various churches.
Sanwo-olu made the call on Thursday when he answered questions from journalists on Thursday at the Lagos State Government House in Marina.
The governor urged religious leaders to ensure their followers observe the Covid-19 protocols put in place by government to curb the spread of the virus as the country battles the second wave of the pandemic.
“There are not meant to be any gathering. The curfew set by the NCDC (Nigeria Centre for Disease Control) and the PTF (Presidential Task Force on COVID-19) is still active. There is a national curfew from 12 midnight to 4am and that has to be respected. No night vigils in any form.
“The instructions are there and all of the restrictions are in place as set by the PTF and the Lagos State Safety Commission.
“So, there are no vigils anywhere. This is just one Christmas, we will have many Christmas. So, you can have your prayers at home.”
It should be recalled that KaftanPost had earlier reported that the Ondo State Government had on Wednesday banned New Year crossover night service in its effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the state.
