Divine Intervention Behind Low COVID-19 Death Rate In Lagos – Sanwo-Olu
By Emmanuel Awosika
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has attributed the low rate of deaths from COVID-19 in the state to divine intervention.
He said this at the opening of the 34th Synod of the Diocese of Lagos, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) at Our Saviour’s Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos on Monday.
According to him, experts had predicted that 10 to 15 percent of those who contracted COVID-19 in the state would die, but God had averted that.
He stated, “It was said that we would be taking dead bodies on the streets. But thank Almighty God, He kept all of us during the COVID-19 pandemic. We had less than two per cent of fatality in Lagos, when the statistics had projected we would have 10 to 15 per cent.
“What we preach and heard in the Bible is here with us in today’s reality. COVID-19 has shown us in reality that we need to pray and this is why we will continue to pray in Lagos State. We need to serve wherever we find ourselves. Whatever we found our hands to do, let us do it well. Let us do it for the best of intentions because we do not know who is watching. And of course, we need to grow.”
Lagos had recorded its first COVID-19 case in March, and had 18,335 confirmed cases of COVID-19 as at September 5, 2020, with 204 people dead.
