Church cross-over services to close by 11pm in Lagos- CAN

By Modupe Shodeinde

The Christian Association of Nigeria, Lagos State chapter, has ordered all churces in the state to end their cross-over services on the 31st of December by 11pm.

This was announced in a statement signed by the Lagos State CAN chairman, Bishop Steven Adegbite.

The statement read: “As part of our responsibility as a law-abiding organisation and in response to the appeal made to us by the State Government, we hereby direct that all churches should ensure their services on 31st of December, 2020 end at 11:00 pm so as to allow attendees get to their respective homes and places of rest on or before 12:00 midnight when the curfew will start.”

CAN also assured the government that, “Christians will continue to be a strong partner in the quest to see that the spread of COVID-19 does not happen and that it becomes a thing of the past within the shortest time possible.”

Recall that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had given directives that all worship centres should suspend vigils and respect the 12am to 4am curfew imposed by the Federal Government as part of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
