The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ogun State Chapter, has directed churches in the state to shut down all activities to curtail the risk of spreading COVID-19.
The chairman of CAN in the state, Bishop Tunde Akin-Akinsanya, gave the directive on Friday in a statement issued in Abeokuta.
Akin-Akinsanya noted that it was not safe to gather and worship at this period of COVID-19.
“At this trying time, let us apply God’s wisdom and follow his directive in the book of Isaiah 26:20.” he said.
He, however, urged Christians to continue praying for the country, even while they are in their various homes. (NAN)
